Description
Model History:
The Chanel tweed jacket, popularized in the 1950s by Gabrielle Chanel, revolutionized women’s wardrobes with its supple, functional silhouette. This 1995 model is part of the legacy left by Karl Lagerfeld, who reinterpreted the emblematic jacket with constant modernity while respecting the original codes: textured tweed, gold buttons, streamlined cut. This type of piece perfectly illustrates the transitional period of the 90s, when vintage Chanel is already gaining timeless status.
Exterior Details:
Beige tweed features a fine, even, slightly mottled texture, offering an understated yet sophisticated visual effect. The long cut covers the hips, with a slight arch at the waist, ensuring a feminine line without stiffness. The four patch pockets, two on the chest and two on the bottom, are all closed with gold buttons engraved with the iconic double C. The long sleeves are finished with a button placket featuring three small buttons, also embossed. Finishes are clean, highlighted by a discreet gold trim at the bottom of the jacket.
Interior Details:
The jacket is fully lined in tone-on-tone silk embroidered with the Chanel logo in a repeating pattern, bringing comfort and lightness. A fine gold chain, a signature of Chanel jackets, is sewn to the bottom of the lining to ensure a perfect fit. The inner label indicates French manufacturing, as well as a main composition of wool and silk blends.
Product Condition:
In very good vintage condition. The buttons are all present and firmly sewn. There are no noticeable tears or stains, making this a well-preserved piece for its age.
Care instructions:
Professional dry-cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the tweed fiber and silk lining. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light or moisture, and store the jacket on a suitable hanger to preserve the fit. The inner chain should be handled with care to avoid distortion.
