Elegance White Summer Jacket with Stripes and Bold Flower Print

[Phil van Kleur]

Here's a boldly printed summer jacket by Elégance of Paris, which came to me via the vintage shop Unicorn in Oxford. The buttons bear Elégance's logo. I wondered whether the brand still exists, and found a site by Rankoussi who (now?) own it. They say Elégance originated in Germany and established its first subsidiary in France in 1938. But I didn't find anything like this jacket on their site.

This is a brand I see a lot when I go thrifting either here in Switzerland or in Austria. From what I know, the brand still existis.
