Description
Model History:
The knitted vest has been an integral part of the Chanel wardrobe since the house’s earliest days. Coco Chanel contributed to its democratization in the 1920s, modernizing it and integrating it into her coordinated ensembles. This model reinterprets the spirit of the twin-set in a more contemporary, textured version, characteristic of the collections of the late 1990s and 2000s, where color and material play a central role in the brand’s casual elegance.
Exterior Details:
The mottled pattern combines different shades of pink, green, orange and touches of black in a tweed-effect knit. Raspberry-pink rib-knit trims structure the neckline, hem and cuffs. The round silver metal buttons are engraved with the stylized CHANEL logo, with a graphic layout reminiscent of the world of antique buttons. The chest pockets are highlighted by the same finishes, bringing visual balance to the ensemble. The dense knit ensures a good fit while remaining supple.
Interior details:
The interior is entirely knitted, with no added lining, revealing the finesse of the textile work and the play of raised threads. The inside pocket seams and side seam finishes are clean. The composition label indicates a blend of 74% cashmere, 15% mohair, 8% polyamide, 2% silk and 1% wool – a combination that guarantees softness, warmth and resistance over time.
Product Condition:
The vest is in excellent condition, with no snags or excessive pilling. Colors are vivid, buttons all present and securely fastened. The knitwear is neither distended nor felted, and the finishes show no slackening. Ribs retain their original shape and elasticity.
Care instructions:
We recommend washing this cardigan by hand in cold water with mild soap or a special wool and cashmere product. Avoid rubbing or mechanical spin-drying. Dry flat on a clean towel, out of direct sunlight. Store flat to avoid warping.
