Box + Betty designer couture tweed jacket and label

The Enduring Allure of the Iconic French Style Tweed Jacket

Coco Chanel said it best: "Fashion changes, but style endures... Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion succeeds".

Timeless design 
Since its creation, the classic French style tweed jacket has transcended generations. It is the ultimate fashion statement.

Box+Betty's ladies designer tweed jackets are luxury layering staples that transition from season to season the whole year round.

The subtle boxy fit allows ease of movement whilst perfectly complimenting your silhouette. The soft, unstructured design provides flexibility and comfort. Our jackets feel like and move as freely as your favourite cardigan.

How to wear a tweed jacket
Quite simply, anything goes! Casual, formal, or anything in between... Our jackets work as formal suit jackets but are equally fabulous when paired with your favourite pair of jeans. Our jackets serve to effortlessly elevate casual looks and refine more formal ones.  

What is tweed?
Tweed is a thick woollen fabric, often woven from different coloured threads and originally produced in Scotland.

The word bouclé is the French word for curl. Bouclé is pronounced 'boo-clay'.  Bouclé tweed has a distinctive appearance which is characterised by looped and curled yarns of differing textures and thicknesses.

Why is tweed so popular?
Good quality tweed is made with a high percentage of natural fibres, most notably, wool. Wool is a versatile material with natural elasticity, which enables it to resist creasing. It is light, flexible and breathable. Wool is able to absorb moisture which means that it is suitable for both warm and cooler conditions, making wool a truly, trans-seasonal fabric.

Wool is 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable.  

What makes Box+Betty's tweed so special?
We are a luxury tweed clothing company. We use only the finest couture tweed fabrics, trims and detailing. The colours, textures, proportions, drape and fit have been meticulously crafted by our talented London designers.

Our signature light pink luxury tweed jacket is finished with a delicate trim and rose gold toned hem chain and cuff buttons.
