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