Description
Model History:
Tweed has been inseparable from Chanel’s history since the 1920s, when Gabrielle Chanel was inspired by men’s wardrobes to create suits in supple wool. Under the artistic direction of Karl Lagerfeld, then Virginie Viard from 2019, the house has continued to reinterpret this material with modernity. This Spring-Summer 2020 combination illustrates this continuity, blending textile heritage and contemporary silhouettes in a spirit that is both audacious and faithful to the brand’s codes.
Exterior details:
Tweed, made from a majority of silk (91%), offers a soft, slightly satiny feel. The check pattern blends red, black, white and silver threads, creating a striking graphic contrast. Finishes are carefully crafted, with braided red braid highlighting the edges, pockets and sleeves. The round, textured silver buttons feature a stylized grid in relief, adding a sophisticated touch to the ensemble. Slightly marked shoulders and a long, structured cut reinforce the piece’s couture character.
Interior Details:
The interior is fully lined in red silk (100%), offering optimum comfort and a lightweight feel against the skin. The lining also holds the outer structure in place, making it easy to put on. A woven “CHANEL” label is sewn under the collar, along with the original size and composition label.
Product Condition:
The suit is in excellent condition, with no visible flaws, stains or snags. The seams are clean, the buttons perfectly attached and the tweed shows no signs of wear. It comes with its own bag of extra buttons, a typical detail for new or little-worn pieces from the house.
Care instructions:
Due to its silk-rich composition, we recommend that you take this piece to a dry cleaner specializing in delicate textiles. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light to preserve the brilliance of the tweed. A wide hanger is recommended to preserve the structured shape of the shoulders.
