The Falda is a modern interpretation of the classic Chanel tweed jacket. The design combines the shape of a Bomber jacket with playfully dramatic, oversized Victorian style sleeves. Style B uses a heavier weight coating fabric for a warm winter version, while Style A uses a jacket weight cotton such as denim for fall and spring.
