Description
Model History:
Chanel’s Paris-Bombay collection was presented in 2012 during the Métiers d’Art fashion show, a series dedicated to the house’s exceptional craftsmanship. It illustrates oriental inspiration revisited through the prism of Parisian elegance, with pieces blending traditional savoir-faire and timeless Chanel codes. Tweed, the brand’s emblematic signature since the 1950s under the impetus of Gabrielle Chanel, is here enriched with metallic threads and chromatic contrasts to evoke Indian splendor without ever sacrificing couture sobriety.
Exterior details:
The outer fabric consists of 52% wool, 23% viscose, 18% polyester, 5% polyamide and 2% cupro, woven into a thick, multicolored structure, incorporating gold threads for a discreetly luminous effect. The straight, slightly curved cut emphasizes the silhouette without constricting it. The round neckline replaces the traditional tailoring collar, adding a contemporary touch. The cuffs are finished with a stitched lapel, and the slightly rounded front pockets blend harmoniously with the tweed pattern. Gold jewel buttons with a central red motif and floral inlay reinforce the piece’s visual identity.
Interior Details:
Fully lined in burgundy silk with tone-on-tone camellia pattern, the jacket ensures optimum comfort and elegant shape retention. The 100% pure silk lining is meticulously crafted, as evidenced by the gold trim sewn into the base. A small weight chain, a signature of Chanel jackets, is discreetly integrated into the inner hem to guarantee a good fit.
Product Condition:
The jacket is in excellent condition, with no visible stains, dents or deformations. The seams are intact, the original buttons are securely fastened, and the lining shows no signs of wear. The tweed retains all its original relief and color, a sign of careful care.
Care instructions:
We recommend that you take this piece to a dry cleaner specializing in high-end textiles. Avoid direct contact with moisture or prolonged heat sources. For storage, use a wide hanger and a breathable fabric cover to preserve the structure and fibers of tweed and silk.
