Model History:
Founded in 1889, Lanvin is one of the oldest French fashion houses still in business. Renowned for its understated elegance and timeless cuts, Lanvin has stood the test of time, preserving a refined style between classicism and modernity. This jacket follows in the tradition of sober women’s tailoring of the 1980s-1990s, a period when jackets with clean, uncluttered lines, often inspired by men’s wardrobes, became a mainstay of contemporary wardrobes.
Exterior details:
The outer fabric is composed of 75% virgin wool and 25% silk, offering a fluid fall and a slightly satiny texture to the touch. The off-white color underscores the piece’s understated elegance. The notched lapel, patch pockets with flaps and real horn buttons reinforce the quality aspect. The long sleeves end with no visible buttonholes, for a streamlined look. The straight cut, neither too slim nor too oversized, makes for versatile wear.
Interior Details:
The jacket is fully lined in cupro, a vegetable fiber renowned for its breathability and soft, silk-like feel. The interior is neatly finished with taped seams and a discreet inside pocket. The original labels are present, attesting to the Italian manufacture and materials used.
Product Condition:
This jacket is in very good condition. No stains, tears or excessive wear are visible. Buttons are original and secure. The lining is intact, with no snags or discoloration. The outer fabric retains all its lustre, with impeccable wear.
Care instructions:
Professional dry-cleaning is strongly recommended, particularly to preserve the quality of the natural fibers and the shape of the jacket. It should be stored on a wide hanger to maintain shoulder plumb, and prolonged exposure to direct light should be avoided to prevent color fading.
