What makes the Chanel’s jacket so special?

This is a traditional Chanel’s jacket created by Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, , who is Known as Coco Chanel. She was a stylist that changed completely women’s wear. The first CHANEL jackets were made in 1916. 

The things that make Chanel’s jacket an iconic luxury fashion item are the design, the material, the structure, the texture, the shape and the embroidery. Chanel’s jacket is simply gorgeous in its inside and on its outside as well.

Normally, it is made of tweed that consists of more than a dozen different fibers. These are hand-sewn tweeds, made of fine silk, ribbons and mother of pearl. Its embroidery is so important that, to make it perfectly well, Chanel commissions a specialized factory in Paris. Inside, the jackets usually are lined with silk.  Even the buttons are special because they are all designed to tell the story of the brand, being pieces of jewelry for each jacket.

Would you like to dream owning a Chanel’s jacket.?
