A really strong example of Rykiel’s late 90s to early 2000s design language where sportswear, utility and softness all collide. This piece blends plush velvet panels with smooth technical fabric trims, giving it that slightly futuristic Parisian activewear feel Rykiel was known for post 1990s.
Designed as a functional layering piece rather than a traditional waistcoat. The zip front, reinforced pocket detailing and contrast shoulder panels feel borrowed from performance gear, but executed with typical Rykiel elegance. Subtle branding at the back neckline keeps it understated and collectible rather than loud.
Made in France and beautifully constructed. Rare piece that sits somewhere between fashion archive and wearable daily layer. Looks great over tees, knits or even under tailoring.
