W5443 Blazer - Black Regular Flowing Viscose Blend Doubled Back Carré Internal Shoulder Straps Wooden Button Women's Italian

Regular price €188.71 EUR

Flowing Viscose Blend. Black. Doubled Back Carré. Wooden Button. The Blazer That Structures at the Back.

The W5443 in black is the same construction as the brown — regular-fit blazer in flowing viscose blend (63% polyester, 34% viscose, 3% elastane), fully lined in 100% polyester, with internal shoulder straps, a doubled back carré, a wooden button closure, and front pockets with flaps — but in a colorway that changes how the flowing viscose blend reads. In black, the viscose sheen reads as a cool, precise surface rather than the warm, earthy quality of the brown. The doubled back carré is visible from behind: structured and substantial at the upper back, the single-layer viscose blend falling fluidly below. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Blazer Is Different

  • Doubled Back Carré: A carré is a back yoke — a panel that spans the upper back of the blazer from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. In the W5443, the back carré is doubled: constructed from two layers of the same flowing viscose blend, adding structure and body to the upper back while the single-layer viscose blend falls fluidly below the carré seam. In black, the doubled carré reads as a precise, structured panel at the upper back — the doubled fabric creating a more substantial surface that catches light differently from the single-layer viscose below.
  • Flowing Viscose Blend in Black: 63% polyester, 34% viscose, 3% elastane — the viscose content (34%) gives the fabric its fluid drape and natural sheen. In black, the viscose sheen reads as a cool, precise surface — the fluid fabric catching light with a subtle lustre that reads as elevated and considered. Unlike matte black fabrics, the viscose blend in black has a natural depth that changes with the angle of the light.
  • Wooden Button Closure: A natural wood button that closes the blazer at the front — a warm, organic hardware detail that contrasts with the cool black viscose blend. The wooden button is warm and slightly irregular — each one unique, the natural variation in the wood visible in the surface of the button. In black, the wooden button creates a deliberate contrast: warm organic hardware against cool fluid fabric.
  • Internal Shoulder Straps: Straps sewn inside the blazer at the shoulder — a construction detail that holds the blazer in place on the shoulder without visible external hardware.
  • Front Pockets with Flaps: Functional front pockets with flaps that maintain the blazer's structured silhouette.
  • Made in Italy: Flowing viscose blend construction, doubled back carré finishing, and all construction completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

W5443 Black vs. W5443 Brown

The W5443 black and brown share the same flowing viscose blend construction, doubled back carré, internal shoulder straps, wooden button, and front pockets with flaps. The difference is how the viscose blend and wooden button read in each colorway. In brown, the viscose sheen is warm and earthy — the wooden button complementing the warm tone. In black, the viscose sheen is cool and precise — the wooden button creating a deliberate contrast between warm organic hardware and cool fluid fabric. Choose brown for a warmer, more organic reading; choose black for a cooler, more considered version of the same construction.

The Moment You Put It On

The flowing viscose blend is immediately fluid — the 34% viscose content giving the fabric its natural sheen and fluid drape. In black, the sheen reads as cool and precise: the fluid fabric catching light with a subtle lustre that changes with the angle of the light. The internal shoulder straps hold the blazer in place; the wooden button closes the front with a single, warm click — the organic warmth of the wood against the cool black viscose a deliberate contrast.

The doubled back carré is visible from behind: the upper back structured and substantial, the doubled viscose blend adding body to the yoke panel; the single-layer viscose blend falling fluidly below the carré seam. The W5443 black is a blazer that reads as cool and fluid from the front and reveals its structural detail from the back.

The Art of the Doubled Carré

A carré (from the French for “square”) is a back yoke — a panel that spans the upper back of a garment from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. In the W5443, the back carré is doubled — two layers of the same flowing viscose blend sewn together to create a panel with more body and structure than the single-layer viscose blend below. The doubled carré creates a deliberate transition at the upper back: the structured yoke above the carré seam, the fluid viscose blend falling freely below. In black, the doubled carré reads as a precise, structured panel — the doubled fabric creating a more substantial surface that catches light differently from the single-layer viscose below.

How to Wear It

  • All Black: Combine with other black pieces — the viscose blend sheen creates natural variation within an all-black palette, the wooden button adding a warm organic contrast.
  • Over a Turtleneck: Wear over a fitted black turtleneck and slim trousers — the regular-fit blazer over a minimal base, the flowing viscose blend sheen and wooden button the focal points.
  • With Wide-Leg Trousers: Wear with wide-leg trousers — the regular-fit blazer creating a deliberate proportion with the wide-leg below.
  • Evening: Wear as an evening blazer — the flowing viscose blend sheen and wooden button elevating the black into a considered evening piece.

Care Instructions

  • Dry clean recommended — the flowing viscose blend shell requires professional care to preserve the drape and sheen
  • If spot cleaning, use a damp cloth on the viscose blend shell; avoid saturating the fabric
  • Store hung on a padded hanger to preserve the shoulder strap position and blazer shape
  • Do not tumble dry or machine wash
