A major French fashion house, Chanel has established itself as a timeless benchmark thanks to its high-quality tweed and sophisticated cuts. This emblematic fabric has its origins in Coco Chanel 's love of Great Britain, where she drew her inspiration. During her travels in Scotland, Coco Chanel discovered and perfected this fabric. It was she who taught the Scots how to make lightweight tweed, transforming an initially rustic fabric into a refined fabric suitable for elegant suits and dresses. She reinvented the strict dress codes of her time to offer a more comfortable, sophisticated and timeless fashion. Today, it's impossible to imagine a Chanel collection without tweed.
Tweed, a timeless Chanel signature
Tweed is one of Chanel's emblematic materials, widely used in its iconic suits. Introduced in the 1920s and popularized in the 1950s with the famous Chanel suit, it quickly established itself as a symbol of feminine elegance and emancipation.
A genuine tweed piece by Chanel is distinguished by :
- A luxurious, dense texture made from high-quality yarns.
- Impeccable cut and fall, enhancing the silhouette with unrivalled precision and elegance.
- A perfect fit that brings comfort and refinement to every outfit.
Today, tweed creations continue to be reinterpreted by the house's various artistic directors, while remaining faithful toChanel' s DNA .
