FR38-40 Chanel Spring 1997 Red and White Wool Tweed Longline Blazer with Patch Pockets and Structured Cut

FR38-40 Chanel Spring 1997 Red and White Wool Tweed Longline Blazer with Patch Pockets and Structured Cut

When Karl Lagerfeld stepped in as creative director of Chanel in 1983, he reimagined the house’s heritage with a sharp, modern edge—reviving the tweed jacket and infusing it with a new attitude. This piece from the Spring 1997 collection reflects that legacy: bold in palette, sharply cut, and anchored by the signature details that defined Lagerfeld’s Chanel—structured shoulders, patch pockets, red enamel CC buttons, and silk-lined interiors. It’s a masterclass in timeless tailoring through a 90s lens.
