Description
Model History:
The tweed jacket has been an integral part of the Chanel heritage since its invention by Gabrielle Chanel in the 1920s, designed to free women from the constraints of dress. Under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld in the 90s, the suit was modernized and enriched with new details: more assertive lines, metallic threads and revisited proportions. The Autumn 1994 collection perfectly illustrates this vision, where tweed is adorned with silver threads and a refined weave to offer an allure that is both contemporary and true to the spirit of the house. This model sums up the subtle balance between tradition and modernity that characterizes Chanel creations of the Lagerfeld years.
Exterior Details:
The tweed, with its dense, sophisticated weave, skilfully combines wool, mohair and silver threads, creating a play of materials and light that magnifies the jacket. The patch pockets blend perfectly into the pattern, preserving the purity of the lines. The cuffless v-neck and fringed trim add a touch of understated elegance. Gold and black buttons with a “CC” motif punctuate the piece with refinement, while the small buttons on the cuffs are a reminder of the house’s attention to detail.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in gray silk adorned with a subtle tone-on-tone pattern of mini “CC” logos, a refined detail that extends luxury to the invisible finishing touches. The famous gold chain is present at the hem, guaranteeing perfect fall and an impeccably structured silhouette. The interior finishings bear witness to the artisanal precision of Chanel’s workshops.
Condition:
The jacket is in very good condition. The tweed retains all its density and nuance, the silver threads remain bright and the buttons are firmly attached. The lining is intact, with no snags or discoloration. All in all, it reflects careful care and impeccable craftsmanship.
Care instructions:
We recommend that you take the jacket to a professional dry-cleaner specializing in delicate textiles to preserve the integrity of the fibers and the brilliance of the silver threads. Store on a wide hanger to maintain shoulder shape and avoid distortion. Protect from prolonged exposure to direct light to preserve color intensity.
