Circa 1990s, Renoma Paris 'Detachable Sleeve Multi-Pocket Jacket'.
A special arrival.
Renoma Paris is a French fashion house.
Maurice Renoma, one of its founders, opened the first boutique in the 16th arrondissement of Paris in 1963 alongside his brother Michel.
The boutique, with its white façade, became known as the "WHITE HOUSE." The concept of curating clothes for oneself and wearing them out into the world—what one might call real clothes philosophy—captured the imagination of Paris overnight.
Genuine maison prêt-à-porter was a novel concept at the time, and it earned considerable esteem.
From Parisian students to fashion world luminaries, the brand attracted a devoted following. Artists of all disciplines—musicians, film directors, those with acute sensibilities—became devoted to wearing Renoma Paris.
Serge Gainsbourg, John Lennon, Andy Warhol—figures who shaped history itself—all wore this house.
Renoma Paris, founded by Maurice Renoma, remains one of those rare brands beloved across generations.
The aesthetic and philosophy he established continue to influence those who care about fashion today.
From Renoma Paris, we present a detachable-sleeve multi-pocket jacket.
The multi-pocket jacket has become virtually synonymous with vintage Renoma.
It is perhaps most famously known for being worn by Andy Warhol, that great American pop iconoclast, during his travels in China.
Despite sharing the same multi-pocket configuration, it stands to reason that production years saw variations in fabric, silhouette, and other specifications.
This particular example shares nearly identical details with the jacket worn by Warhol during his China journey.
Asymmetrically placed flap pockets at the chest, dual zip slash pockets at the torso, and smaller flap pockets along the hem on both sides—the distinctive "multi-pocket" configuration.
Such details are sought after by those who understand them, a jacket that speaks directly to a certain sensibility.
The front closure employs a dual-structure system combining zipper and snap buttons, offering both design sophistication and functional excellence.
The sleeves are detachable via zipper, allowing the jacket to function equally well as a vest—a versatile 2-in-1 design.
The freedom to adapt according to mood and occasion is undoubtedly appealing.
This example comes with a quilted liner that zips in and out, extending seasonality from spring and autumn through to winter with proper layering.
The liner itself is easily detachable.
Worn casually and unforced, this piece reveals its truest character.
Personally, it strikes me as particularly suited to more refined, dressier styling—perhaps something tied at the neck—where its elegance becomes unmistakable.
Trends have no hold on it. It adapts equally to casual and formal wardrobes alike.
While multi-pocket jackets continue to be released by the house today, the vintage enthusiast naturally seeks the original.
No size tag remains, though by measurement it corresponds roughly to a Japanese XL to XXL.
The actual dimensions indicate a generous fit, suitable for larger frames without concern.
Signs of use are present—soiling, scuffing, small tears, holes, repairs, and general wear.
It remains entirely wearable, though the zipper end at the sleeve shows some fraying; careful handling will ensure years of wear ahead.
Renoma Paris, that ambassador of French fashion.
A multi-pocket jacket worn by Andy Warhol—such a piece rarely surfaces in the vintage market.
As both a functional garment and a collection piece or design reference, it stands without compromise.
Stock of this caliber arrives infrequently. Should you be searching, this opportunity warrants your attention.
