Description
History of the Model: Chanel’s Fall-Winter 2013/14 collection, designed by Karl Lagerfeld, is marked by a cosmic inspiration, with the universe and the planets as a backdrop. This theme is found in the details of certain pieces, notably in the metal buttons engraved with stars and celestial symbols. This jacket is fully in line with this aesthetic, at the crossroads between Chanel classicism and futuristic vision. It bears witness to the work of reinterpreting the iconic tweed jacket by the artistic director of the time.
Exterior Details: The black tweed is made of 55% polyamide, 37% virgin wool and 8% polyester. Its dense and shiny texture creates a satiny visual effect while remaining sober. The jacket is long, with a stand-up collar and long sleeves finished with two black spherical buttons engraved with planetary patterns. Two patch pockets with flap complete its silhouette. The hem, cuffs and collar are discreetly frayed, providing a slightly raw finish to the structured design.
Interior Details: The interior is lined with black silk (100%), soft and fluid, decorated with tone-on-tone camellia patterns and intertwined logos, characteristic of Chanel pieces. The lining guarantees optimal comfort while ensuring the fit holds. The internal finishes demonstrate a high level of manufacturing, faithful to the house’s standards.
Product Condition: The jacket is in very good condition. Tweed retains all its texture and visual effects. No pulled threads, no discoloration or stains to report. The buttons are complete and well fixed, the zipper works perfectly. The seams are intact.
Care Tips: It is recommended to have the jacket professionally dry cleaned, particularly due to the delicate composition of the tweed and the silk lining. Storing on a wide hanger, in a breathable fabric cover, will preserve the shape and material over time.
