Documented Chanel Cruise 1996 Tweed Jacket

A remarkable piece from Karl Lagerfeld’s celebrated Chanel Cruise 1996 collection, this navy and ivory bouclé tweed jacket embodies the effortless sophistication that defined the House throughout the 1990s. Finished with contrasting ivory trim, signature logo buttons and the iconic cropped silhouette, it is a timeless example of Chanel’s exceptional craftsmanship.

Beyond its impeccable design, this jacket carries exceptional provenance. The style was extensively documented during the collection’s presentation and was famously photographed by legendary street style photographer Bill Cunningham outside the Chanel Cruise 1996 show in New York, capturing a model wearing the look just moments after the runway presentation. Its appearance in Cunningham’s photographs further cements the collection’s place in fashion history and highlights the enduring appeal of Karl Lagerfeld’s vision for Chanel.

A highly collectible Chanel jacket with rare editorial provenance, equally at home in a discerning archive or worn as effortlessly today as it was nearly three decades ago. An exceptional example from one of the House’s most beloved eras under Karl Lagerfeld.

Size FR 36. Excellent vintage condition.
