History:
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, a particular type of jacket became the distinctive symbol of factory workers, later becoming the national uniform of the Chinese people. This simple piece of clothing, whose history dates back to the ancient times of the Silk Road, when trade between China and the Mediterranean was flourishing, is deeply rooted in tradition.
Widely distributed throughout the Far East and of French origin, the jacket embodies a significant piece of history and culture that has survived numerous revolutions and crossed continents. In the 1970s, the glamorous fashion of "China blue" conquered the Parisian elite, bringing this piece of Chinese workwear into the spotlight of international fashion.
This Chinese workwear is recognizable by its deep indigo blue, the characteristic Chinese buttons, the Peter Pan collar of the jacket and the chino-cut trousers, distinguished by the button placket and adjustable waist.
The iconic uniform, made of 100% cotton and sourced directly from China, has managed to perfectly combine functionality and style. This workwear has attracted very different sectors, from the working sphere to the world of high fashion. It tells stories of commitment, progress and revolution, while maintaining a simple and timeless elegance.
The Chinese work jacket is more than just a garment; it is a symbol of resilience and adaptability. Its transformation from a garment worn by Chinese workers to an element of high fashion represents a cultural and historical journey that continues to influence and inspire people around the world.
