Description
History of the Model: The tweed jacket has been a central piece of the Chanel heritage since the 1950s, when Gabrielle Chanel introduced this fabric inspired by British men’s wardrobe into women’s fashion. The 2012 Cruise collection “Eden Roc”, presented by Karl Lagerfeld, pays homage to the elegance of the Côte d’Azur and the legendary hotel of Cap d’Antibes. This cruise line combines casual refinement and couture know-how. Jackets from this period are distinguished by their subtle modernization of classic Chanel codes, while retaining the structure, interior chain and precise finishes specific to the house.
Exterior Details: The navy blue tweed has a slightly curly texture, dense and supple at the same time, offering a clean silhouette without excessive rigidity. The cut is straight and structured, with a classic tailored collar and naturally defined shoulders. The four textured silver metal buttons provide a discreet contrast against the dark background of the fabric. Two discreet pockets are integrated into the front. The long sleeves and slightly cropped length balance the silhouette, typical of contemporary Chanel jackets.
Interior Details: The interior is entirely lined with silk, ensuring fluidity and comfort when wearing. We find the metal chain sewn to the interior base, an emblematic technical detail allowing a perfect fit. The Chanel label as well as references from the 2012 Cruise collection are present. The interior seams are clean and even, reflecting the precision of the tailoring.
Product Condition: This Chanel Cruise 2012 jacket is in very good general condition. Tweed maintains its consistent texture without noticeable pilling. The buttons are well fixed and retain their shine. The silk lining is clean with no visible tears or stains. The finishes, notably the interior chain, are intact.
Care Instructions: Dry cleaning by a professional specializing in luxury clothing is recommended in order to preserve the structure of the tweed and the delicacy of the silk lining. It is advisable to keep the jacket on a hanger suitable for maintaining the shoulder line and to avoid prolonged exposure to direct light.
