‘Elegance is Refusal’ — Coco Chanel Quote Tee | RQuéV Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“Elegance is refusal.” The phrase gets pinned on Chanel everywhere, though the trail actually runs through Diana Vreeland, who put it in her 1980 book Allure while admitting she had no memory of where she first heard it. The author is lost, the idea unmistakable: elegance as everything you leave off. To refuse well, to take off the one thing too many before you walk out, is its own quiet form of taste.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
