Description
Model History:
Knitwear has been an essential part of the Chanel heritage since the 1920s, when Gabrielle Chanel introduced comfortable materials to women’s wardrobes. The striped motif, meanwhile, refers to the marine inspiration so dear to the designer. This jacket illustrates the continuity of this tradition under Karl Lagerfeld, who has revisited the house’s classics with a modern touch, incorporating precious details while retaining the practicality of everyday garments.
Exterior Details:
The main fabric is a soft, dense cashmere, offering warmth and comfort while retaining a good fit. The knit features textured stripes in red, blue and silver twisted yarns, arranged at irregular intervals. The front is fastened with three central rounded enamel buttons, matching the two decorative buttons on the side pockets. The tailored collar provides a neat finish and structured support, while the long sleeves maintain a classic straight cut.
Interior Details:
The piece is unlined, as is customary for luxury knitwear, allowing the quality of the cashmere to be fully appreciated in contact with the skin. Internal finishing is impeccable, with discreet seams and clean lapels. The black “Chanel” label is sewn onto the neckline, along with the size 38.
Product Condition:
This jacket/gilet is in excellent condition, with no visible pilling or alterations to the fabric. The buttons are all present and perfectly attached. The knit fabric retains its density, and the overall colors are clean, with no fading or discoloration.
Care instructions:
This piece should be dry-cleaned by a specialist in delicate textiles. To avoid felting or warping, avoid prolonged folding and use a wide hanger for storage. If in contact with water, dry flat and away from heat sources.
