Viva Checked Recycled Cotton-Blend Blazer

French label Maje regularly sources inspiration from the women of its home city of Paris and their effortless style and wardrobes. And if you've met a Parisienne, you will know that one of the pieces that they consider a building block of any successful wardrobe is a timeless blazer. Putting its slightly quirky take on the classic blazer, the brand designed the Viva jacket. Made with a recycled cotton blend, the relaxed fit is covered in a vibrant mini check.

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
