Please note that the tiempo will never change in number. The work jacket is one of them. It was a blue heater in the 19th century, a mechanical jacket in the years 1950, a taller jacket that was older. The numbers are evolving, the spirit is permanent: it is born for use, without concession to the superfluous.
It is precisely this hope that Maison Coulange has decided to reinvent with Work U34. No suavizándolo, feminizándolo en el sensido debil del término, sino re-structurándolo desde dentro. A short thought for the woman of the day, which ensures the rigor of the masculine dress at the same time as affirming a singular silhouette.
The tejido lo dice todo sobre esta ambición. A long fiber fabric of Italian origin, elegant for its density and its mano. One such thing with leather, it will be light and vivid, which will accept the marks of the time without ever losing it. The type of tejido that we do not find in the catalogs of time, if not in the sizes of which it is written where the word “robust” implies.
The cut is a question of precision. Hombros limpios, linea recta, sisas Thoughts for the movement. La Travail U34 does not limit the actions, the company. Every detail — the structured shell, the bags, the bags — will be collected from its original utility. But the set exudes an elegance that does not need to be overlooked by the ornaments. It's the corte and what you wear, it's the accessory.
Here lies the singularity of the Coulange cabinet: starting from a functional design to create a piece that supers its function. The utility is converted into silhouette. The work jacket converts into a firma.
This duality — the robust style and the studied line, the strength and the fluidity — is in the heart of the identity of the house. A familiar factory that, from the very beginning of a siglo, worked the noble materials with the most demanding forms. There is no choice between the background and the shape. Se interlazan.
The U34 Work rose as it entered a home: without pedir exculpas. Sober a vintage vaquero for an active day, sober a fluid dress for a controlled contrast, sober a straight pants for a more constructed area. It also exists in a masculine version, cortada con el mismo espíritu —tejido identico, un corte adjusted to la morphology masculina, la misma filosofía de l’utilitario rethought.
Made in France, the Work U34 is available in various sizes. Please note that if you take a piece of cake you have to take it well.
