did I just find your next denim jacket?
an ode to my first secondhand buy & warmer days ahead
Hi everyone, and a special welcome to all new susbcribers 👐 I’m excited to share trouvé more widely and have loved your reactions to my last post:
Anna & Marta were inspired to search for their nostalgic brands, GAP & Miss Sixty
Camille found a vintage Cacharel trench
Many of you eyed the black trench, orange top, and DKNY sweater. Did any of you get these? I want to know :)
Keep the thoughts, feedback & ideas coming 🫶
And now for this week’s post…
What was your first vintage find?
Mine was an oversized veste en jeans found in Paris, that I wore in high school and college. As much as I’d love to say I still wear it today — I don’t 🥲
Since then, all my denim jackets have been vintage, quite simply because it’s one of the easiest things you can find secondhand.
🔮 To honor this timeless piece of clothing, this week’s drop features denim jackets with a twist, in case you feel like switching things up from your classic veste en jeans.
Zipped up — Kenzo
There’s lots I like about this one: the rainbow stitching, the cut, the wash.
Edit: this link is broken! But fear not, I found its twin here, in size M/38 for 45€ (better deal).
Size: S/36
Price: 59€
Other zipper contenders: here and here. Not a zipper but also Kenzo.
All white — Versace
Yes, you have a blue denim jacket, but do you have the white alternative? The textured fabric also caught my attention on this one!
Size: S/36
Price: 25€
Collarless — Marité & François Girbaud
Size: M/38
Price: 80€
A boxier shape in impeccable condition and with some nice “worker-style” details.
Some more affordable collarless options here & here.
Light blue — D&G
A lovely, soft, color that’s easy to pair with just about anything.
Size: M/38
Price: 30€
Knitted — Moschino
Why not keep it interesting with a little mix of texture?
Size: S/36
Price: 26€
And here’s a zipper + knit combo.
Two toned — Mont Saint Michel
A really good price for this high-quality brand (their jackets usually start at 150€).
Size: M/38
Price: 70€
Or why not this more original option for just 32€?
Red - Jean-Paul Gautier
🌶️🌶️🌶️ Spice things up with some deep red.
Size: S/36
Price: 110€
Cropped — APC
This darker “raw denim” wash is easy to pair with other shades of denim. Time to rock that Canadian tuxedo look 😎
Size: S/36
Price: 20€
Blazer — Unknown brand
To conclude this week’s drop: a striped denim blazer that caught my eye, because why not?!
Size: M/38
Price: 9€
A simpler belted option, and another one from Calvin Klein.
That’s it for this week’s drop :)
With warmer days around the corner will you also be reaching for your trusty denim jacket? (Weather is a big topic on here, can you tell I live in Amsterdam?)
As always, thanks for reading!
