‘In Order to Be Irreplaceable’ — Coco Chanel Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” Marcel Haedrich recorded this in his 1971 memoir of Coco Chanel (“pour être irremplaçable, il faut rester différente”) as her whole theory of survival: singularity is the only security there is. She built a life on being the one woman no rival could stand in for. What makes a person impossible to replace is precisely what makes them unlike anyone else.

**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).
