Chanel Boutique Double-Breasted Knit Blazer – Black & White – Vintage – FR 36

An exceptional vintage Chanel Boutique blazer that perfectly captures the elegance of Karl Lagerfeld's celebrated late-1990s vision for the House. Expertly crafted in France from an intricately woven black and white viscose knit, the fabric features a refined interlocking chain-link pattern—a subtle reference to one of Chanel's most iconic design signatures.

The sharply tailored double-breasted silhouette is complemented by elegant peak lapels, structured shoulders and two classic flap pockets, creating a beautifully balanced jacket that feels both timeless and unmistakably Chanel. Sophisticated without relying on overt branding, it reflects the quiet confidence and impeccable craftsmanship that define the maison's most collectible ready-to-wear.

Presented in very good vintage condition, with the fabric, structure and buttons beautifully preserved, this blazer is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece from one of Chanel's most admired eras.

Designer

The Chanel Boutique label was used for the House's ready-to-wear collections from the late 1980s until 1998, a period widely regarded as one of the defining chapters of Karl Lagerfeld's creative direction. During these years, Lagerfeld revitalised Chanel's iconic heritage by combining the maison's classic tailoring, luxurious fabrics and unmistakable design codes with a fresh, contemporary silhouette. Today, Chanel Boutique pieces are highly sought after for their exceptional craftsmanship, timeless elegance and historical significance within the House's legacy.

Why We Love It

The late 1990s marked one of the most influential periods in Chanel's ready-to-wear history, as Karl Lagerfeld reinterpreted Gabrielle Chanel's timeless tailoring for a modern generation. This blazer embodies everything collectors love about that era: impeccable French craftsmanship, refined proportions and signature House details expressed with remarkable restraint.

The beautifully textured viscose knit creates depth and movement while remaining lightweight and comfortable to wear. Its subtle chain-link motif is unmistakably Chanel to those who know, offering an elegant nod to the maison's heritage without the need for logos or embellishment. The double-breasted cut, structured shoulders and sharp peak lapels create a powerful yet feminine silhouette that feels every bit as relevant today as it did when it first left the atelier.

Wonderfully versatile, this blazer pairs effortlessly with tailored trousers, denim, silk separates or the classic little black dress. It is the kind of investment piece that transcends seasons and trends—equally appealing to collectors of vintage Chanel and anyone seeking exceptional tailoring with enduring style.
