A leather tailored jacket by ANNE MARIE BERETTA, estimated from the 1990s.
A special piece has arrived.
ANNE MARIE BERETTA is a women's fashion house established in France in 1974 by French designer Anne Marie Beretta.
The designer is perhaps best known for creating the iconic "101801" coat for MaxMara, and her work was favoured by Spanish royalty and celebrated figures of the highest calibre.
ANNE MARIE BERETTA gained prominence from the late 1970s through the 1980s.
Her architecturally rigorous and dynamic design language remains remarkably fresh even today, and the brand has begun to attract renewed appreciation in recent years.
Even viewed against the abundance and diversity of contemporary design, the house's pieces remain strikingly novel and vital.
We present a leather tailored jacket from ANNE MARIE BERETTA.
Crafted from a supple and remarkably soft brown leather, evidently worked with meticulous care.
The leather bears a subtle, variegated character—not a uniform brown, but enriched by the natural patina of time, lending it considerable depth and presence.
An uncommon detail for a tailored jacket: snap button closures and substantial flap pockets bearing the ANNE MARIE BERETTA imprint.
Where convention might call for brown stitching to match the leather, the designer has deliberately chosen white—a deliberate, measured choice that commands attention.
A decision entirely in keeping with her design philosophy.
While the silhouette follows the classical tailored jacket form, the refined details scattered throughout bear the unmistakable signature of ANNE MARIE BERETTA.
The piece features a flared A-line silhouette, producing an exceptional shape when worn.
As a women's label piece, it buttons right-over-left in the traditional manner, yet in this size 42, it represents a rare specimen—equally wearable by a man of standard build.
Size marked as "42"
By its measurements, this represents a golden size for the Japanese frame, accommodating a range of proportions.
Equally suited to being worn close or generously—a piece of considerable versatility.
The jacket presents in excellent condition, with minimal visible soiling or wear.
No significant damage that would impede wearing, so it remains fully serviceable.
ANNE MARIE BERETTA, with her singular architectural and dynamic design sensibility.
A rare piece from a storied house, now largely forgotten, with minimal circulation in the market.
Whether as an element of daily dress, as a collector's piece, or as a design reference, this jacket yields nothing to comparison.
The house appears so infrequently in our inventory that if you have been seeking such a piece, this may well be your moment.
