Women's French Work Jacket - 100% Cotton - Sunburst

The French Work Jacket, also known as the chore jacket or bleu de travail, carries a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. Originally crafted for laborers, artisans, and farmers, this utilitarian staple has evolved into a timeless fashion piece, loved for its practicality, elegance, and effortless cool.

Atelier Marinière’s take on this iconic jacket is a modern tribute—handcrafted in Italy with care and precision. Made from premium cotton twill, it offers the perfect balance of durability and comfort. Its flattering silhouette is the result of in-depth research into original vintage styles, subtly refined for a contemporary, feminine touch. Finished with industrial-style metal buttons, it retains its authentic charm while fitting seamlessly into today’s wardrobe.

Beloved by artists, creatives, and fashion-forward women around the world, the bleu de travail has become a cult favorite for its understated style and endless versatility. Legendary photographer Bill Cunningham famously wore his blue jacket almost daily—proof of the enduring appeal of this classic garment.

This jacket transitions beautifully across seasons and outfits. Pair it with a flowing midi skirt and boots in autumn, layer it over a summer dress on breezy evenings, or wear it with wide-leg trousers and sneakers for a casual city look. Whether you're exploring local markets, heading to the office, or styling an effortless weekend outfit, it’s a year-round essential that adds character and heritage to any ensemble.
