A little history of tweed

Before becoming Gabrielle Chanel's favorite fabric, tweed was used extensively in the manufacture of work clothes in Scotland during the 1800s.

It is with her that tweed has invested the skirts, dresses and jackets of trendy ladies. In 1993, since the arrival of Karl Lagerfeld at the head of the luxury house, the trendy material takes a place of predilection in the collections of the mark. Tweed has also attracted more than one fashion designer. Today, designers do not miss the chance to invite him to their fall collections.
