CHANEL – La Pausa Openwork Knit Cardigan

CHANEL – La Pausa Openwork Knit Cardigan
Circa 2018–2019

From the Cruise 2019 “La Pausa” collection, this black knit cardigan jacket by the House of Chanel belongs to one of the last Cruise collections designed by Karl Lagerfeld. Its name is a direct reference to La Pausa, the villa Gabrielle Chanel had built on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, a place deeply connected to her personal world and her taste for relaxed elegance.

The model stands out for its superb openwork knit, which gives the piece a rich and architectural texture while maintaining a great deal of lightness. The construction retains the look of a classic Chanel jacket, but the use of a knit composed mainly of cotton and linen gives it a softer, more summery interpretation, perfectly suited to the spirit of a Cruise collection.

The Chanel-branded buttons add the House’s characteristic touch of luxury and contrast subtly with the monochrome black. Situated between a knit blazer and a cardigan, this piece thus combines the structure of Chanel tailoring with the ease of luxury knitwear.

Beyond its resale value, the appeal of this piece lies in its origin from the La Pausa collection, which establishes a direct link to Gabrielle Chanel’s personal history. Its openwork, branded buttons, and natural-fiber-rich composition make it a particularly refined and easy-to-wear interpretation of the classic Chanel jacket.
