Description
The straight-cut, cropped cream camel hair bouclé boxy jacket with contrasting navy trim on the front placket and on the stylized silk flower at the chest, a hallmark design element pioneered by Coco CHANEL in her 1960s collections. The jacket has turn-down collar and hidden closure with five silk covered buttons.
The cream textured bouclé fabric is a classic winter white choice. This specific ivory tone, achieved with natural camel hair fibers, was a staple of the "Jackie O" aesthetic.
