Alessandra Rich Tweed and Boucle: Jackets, Skirts, Dresses

After the polka dot, tweed bouclé is the Alessandra Rich signature: wool woven with loops, cut with a strong shoulder and a nipped waist, buttoned in crystal and gold-tone, and sold as a jacket, a skirt and a dress from the same cloth. The house lists wool tweed bouclé among its three defining fabrics, with silk crêpe de chine and Chantilly lace. Luxury Handbags has 33 Alessandra Rich tweed pieces from $878 to $4,240: 11 jackets and coats, 13 skirts, 7 dresses and a few trousers and tops. This guide pairs them.

Boucle, and why it matters

Bouclé is French for curled: a yarn spun with loops that stand off the surface, woven into a cloth with a springy, nubbed hand. The house weaves it in wool, sometimes with sequins, lurex and contrast checks caught in the weave, and cuts it with a set-in sleeve and a strong shoulder so it holds a shape a soft tweed would not. The gold-tone and crystal buttons on the black check are the house’s hardware and the reason the jacket needs no jewellery.

The jacket-and-skirt sets

The house cuts each tweed as a family. The black check double-breasted jacket with gold-tone buttons has a mini and a midi skirt in the same cloth; together they are the tweed suit, the civil-ceremony and city-lunch outfit. The ivory tweed jacket with a bow and pockets has an off-the-shoulder version and a mini skirt. The sequin tweed jackets in black, grey and white have sequin tweed skirts and a sequin tweed coat. Buy the jacket first; it goes over everything else the house makes.

The tweed dresses

A black check tweed mini with bows, a sequin checked tweed sleeveless mini in blue, sequin tweed dresses and minis in black, a plain tweed boucle dress. The mini with bows is the daytime piece; the sequin versions are evening.

Sequin and lurex tweed

The evening tweed. Sequins are caught in the weave rather than sewn on, so the cloth keeps its body and the light moves with it. A sequin tweed jacket over a black slip is the house’s answer to the cocktail hour, and the sequin tweed pleated skirt is the party skirt. The sequin guide covers the rest.

Styling tweed

Over the polka-dot midi with the collar out; as the full suit with a silk blouse; with a black trouser and the house’s black slingback. Keep the earrings small, because the buttons are the jewellery, and never put a printed scarf near it. The shoes guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is Alessandra Rich tweed real wool?

Yes. The house lists wool tweed boucle as one of its three defining fabrics, and the jackets, skirts and dresses are woven wool, sometimes with sequins and lurex in the weave. The product page lists the composition by component.

Does the Alessandra Rich tweed jacket come with a matching skirt?

The black check double-breasted jacket has a matching mini and midi; the ivory tweed jacket has a matching mini; the sequin tweed jackets have sequin tweed skirts. Each is sold separately at Luxury Shoes .

How much is Alessandra Rich tweed?

Jackets $3,119 to $4,207, skirts $878 to $3,119, dresses $2,189 to $4,240 at Luxury Shoes .

How does the tweed fit?

With a strong shoulder and a nipped waist, and no stretch in the cloth. Take the size that closes at the waist. The Italian sizing is converted to the UK ladder on every product page.

How do I care for boucle tweed?

Dry clean only. Brush it after wear, store it on a shaped hanger and never fold it; the loops crush. Sequin tweed goes in a garment bag away from anything that can snag.

Is the tweed like Chanel?

The reference is the same, the Paris tweed suit, and the house works it in its own key: a shorter, sharper jacket, crystal and gold-tone buttons, a mini skirt, sequins for evening. It is priced well below the Paris house.
