Circa 1990s, Renoma Paris black leather jacket with detachable sleeves and multiple pockets.
A particularly exceptional piece.
Renoma Paris is a French fashion house.
Maurice Renoma, one of the founders, opened the first boutique in Paris's 16th arrondissement in 1963 alongside his brother Michel.
The boutique, distinguished by its white façade, became known as the "WHITE HOUSE." The concept of curating pieces for oneself and wearing them into daily life—what we might call real clothes—quickly gained prominence.
The formal ready-to-wear concept was novel at the time and earned considerable acclaim.
The brand captivated everyone from Paris students to icons of the fashion world. Artists particularly—musicians and filmmakers attuned to authentic expression—became devoted to Renoma Paris, incorporating the pieces into their personal wardrobes.
Notable figures such as Serge Gainsbourg, John Lennon, and Andy Warhol were known to favor items from this house.
Renoma Paris, established by Maurice Renoma, remains a brand cherished across generations.
The aesthetic and philosophy he cultivated continue to resonate with those who care deeply about fashion.
We present a multi-pocket jacket from Renoma Paris, constructed in black leather with detachable sleeves.
The multi-pocket silhouette has become virtually synonymous with vintage Renoma.
Andy Warhol, the defining figure of American pop art, famously wore such a piece during his travels in China.
It is reasonable to assume that multi-pocket variations across different eras differ in fabric composition and silhouette.
The defining characteristic of this particular example is, without question, its construction in black leather.
Having examined numerous vintage Renoma pieces, nearly all employ cotton or cotton-blend fabrics.
Leather iterations are exceptionally rare—we have seldom encountered one, which speaks to the genuine scarcity of this jacket.
In other respects, the details mirror those of the piece Warhol wore during his time in China.
The chest features asymmetrically placed flap pockets; the torso, a pair of zip slash pockets; and the hem, two small flap pockets on each side—the signature multi-pocket configuration.
Such detailing is sought by many, and this jacket surely appeals to those with refined sensibilities.
The front closure employs a double structure: both a zip fastener and snap buttons in a concealed fly arrangement, balancing aesthetic refinement with functional integrity.
The zip slider features a riri mechanism.
Beyond its function as a jacket, the sleeves detach via zip fastener, allowing the piece to serve as a vest—a two-way versatility.
This flexibility permits styling adjustments according to mood and intention.
The piece includes a quilted lining, removable via zip, extending its utility into cooler months when layered appropriately.
The detachable lining offers further adaptability.
Worn with ease and restraint, the jacket's true character emerges.
Personally, it aligns beautifully with refined, formal styling—the sort achieved through ties and measured composition.
Without question, this is a versatile piece equally suited to casual and formal contexts, transcending temporal fashion.
Though multi-pocket jackets are reissued regularly today, those drawn to vintage naturally seek the original.
Marked size XXL,
which corresponds approximately to Japanese size XXXL.
The actual measurements indicate a generous fit suitable for larger frames.
It accommodates both true sizing and oversized wearing.
The piece carries expected patina—fading, slight rubbing, minor marks—yet exhibits no damage that compromises wearability. It remains entirely useable.
Renoma Paris, representative of French fashion excellence,
presents here a multi-pocket jacket—one favored by Warhol himself—rarely encountered in the vintage market.
This is not a piece one simply purchases with capital. Future availability cannot be assured.
It warrants place in a wardrobe, functions as a collection centerpiece, and serves as a design reference.
Pieces of this caliber arrive seldom. Should this speak to you, we suggest acting without hesitation.
