There is an exuberant amount of creativity in today's world of fashion, making the details matter more than ever before. It takes more than aesthetic to create a timeless piece - it has to be a perfect cross between detailed and utilitarian in order to stand the test of time. That's something Gabrielle Chanel perfected in her jacket designs, in 1954. The buttons, the trim, the tweed - it's what catches the eye, but the usefulness of the piece is what kept the design popular enough to continue adapting it into current designs still seen from the house today. 
Roberta Mishchenko is restoring her collection of vintage Chanel jackets and making them available to the label's most loyal fans at her boutique, Rarchive. It's a luxurious sustainable shopping experience that takes you back in time, and reaffirms the real reasons for loving the Chanel jacket - it truly is timeless.
