Chanel Boutique Double-Breasted Blazer, Royal Purple - French designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel once said that she desired to dress women "in suits that make them feel at ease…[yet] still emphasize femininity." She crafted her original tailored ladies' jacket in the mid-1920s, liberating women from the confines of corsets, and by the 1950s, the Maison's iconic suit was launched. The classic Chanel silhouette has maintained its iconic status as one of the most recognizable and beloved examples of revolutionary luxury tailoring that never falls out of style, with straight and structured cuts that will undoubtedly be celebrated for many more generations to come. After all, it was Mademoiselle Coco herself who said "...fashion fades, only style remains the same." This timeless Chanel wool blazer is presented in a gorgeously regal shade of royal purple. The exquisitely tailored blazer enhances the feminine silhouette, with sleeves skillfully placed high on the padded shoulder to maximize ease of movement and comfort for the wearer. The jacket is embellished with Chanel iconography in the form of buttons branded with the famous interlocking "C"s in gold, a logo that has been in use by the house since 1925, when Mademoiselle Chanel drew inspiration from the geometric motifs in the stained glass windows of Aubazine--where she spent most of her childhood. The fully lined jacket has two front pockets, and is trimmed on the interior hem with a braided gold chain, a technique invented by Mademoiselle Chanel herself to ensure the perfect draping and flow on the body. This blazer is crafted with 100% wool, with 100% silk lining.
