Italian term or phrase: chanellina
No idea what this could be. In a list of garments/accessories, so no other context or images available I'm afraid: "Chanellina in denim, con bottoni madreperla e sfrangiata su collo". Any help gratefully accepted.

Chanel-style jacket


Explanation:

They must be referring to this style of jacket, typically short (therefore -ina is here used to indicate it’s a small jacket) and boxy
https://www.vogue.it/moda/article/giacca-tweed-donna-chanel-...
which is so iconic that, apparently by antonomasia, they are here using the original brand name Chanel to indicate the jacket - I don’t think they are talking about an actual jacket from Chanel -, like Marigold is used to indicate rubber gloves even when they are from a different brand.

“Chanellina” seems to always refer to Chanel-style accessories, never authentic Chanel pieces

neutral  philgoddard: Could be, as it doesn't look like a very Italian word, but it also doesn't appear in any of your references.

  -> thanks Phil, actually I posted references

agree  kringle: sounds good to me - Italianisation of an iconic fashion garment "la giacca Chanel piccolina" = Chanellina, also because the spelling is all wrong for Italian as you wouldn't need an H after that C! Good one dandamesh
