Description
Model History:
Since the 1920s, the house of Chanel has integrated knitwear into its collections, revolutionizing women’s wardrobe by introducing more flexible and comfortable pieces. The vest, particularly in cashmere, becomes a staple of Chanel collections, often reinterpreted with details inspired by sailor tops or uniform jackets. This model is a continuation of the Chanel style, combining rigor of lines and comfort of materials, and recalls the silhouettes introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s and 1990s, which modernized the DNA of the house.
External Details:
The vest is made from light beige cashmere enhanced with embossed knitted navy blue bands, positioned along the button placket, neckline and pockets. These strips bring a balanced visual structure to the room. The aged silver buttons bear the iconic “CC” logo, reinforcing the Chanel visual identity. The cut is straight, with marked ribbed finishes at the bottom of the body and at the cuffs, ensuring support and comfort.
Interior Details:
The interior, knitted in cashmere like the exterior, has no lining, in accordance with classic knitted cardigans. The Chanel authenticity label is sewn under the inside neckline. The regular and dense knitting of cashmere ensures a supple but firm hold, with a particularly soft touch on the skin.
Product Condition:
This vest is in very good condition. No traces of wear, deformation or pilling are visible. The stitching is strong, the ribbed edges well preserved, and all the buttons are original. Cashmere retains all its softness and shine.
Care Tips:
Cashmere should be hand washed cold with a specific product or sent to a professional dry cleaner. It is recommended to dry it flat, away from the sun, to avoid any deformation. Storage should be done flat, in a dry place, ideally in a cotton cover to protect it from moths.

Its neutral hue and contrasting details make it an easy-to-match piece, ideal for lovers of vintage luxury housewear. Timeless and durable, this model is representative of the Chanel style combining sobriety and sophistication, and is a refined addition to any wardrobe.
