Description
Model History:
Embroidered cotton and ornate collars are an integral part of the Chanel codes, inherited from the couture spirit of Gabrielle Chanel, who favored natural materials and comfortable cuts. This shirt is part of a tradition of light, refined pieces, often featured in spring-summer collections, where the craftsmanship of embroidery and finishing underlines the excellence of the house. The camellia, an emblematic motif introduced as early as the 1920s, makes a subtle return here on the buttons.
Exterior details:
Made from fine, semi-transparent white cotton, the shirt has a soft-touch texture that’s pleasant to wear in warm weather. The front is adorned with two embroidered floral arabesque motifs in white thread, which blend harmoniously with the solid hue of the fabric. The collar is wide and structured, accompanied by scalloped ruffles that extend over the shoulders, giving the piece a romantic, feminine style. Pearly camellia-shaped buttons add a subtle decorative touch, while affirming the house’s identity.
Interior details:
The interior is unlined, allowing the cotton to retain its natural lightness. The seams are clean and discreet, and meticulously crafted. The interior label indicates French manufacture and 100% cotton composition, confirming the authenticity of the piece and the quality of its materials.
Product Condition:
This shirt is in very good condition. No stains, holes or noticeable alterations are visible. The embroidery is intact, as are the buttons. The shirt retains its original structure with no marked signs of wear, reflecting careful care.
Care instructions:
This shirt should be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle at low temperature, using a mild detergent. Drying flat is preferable to preserve the shape of the collar and ruffles. Light ironing at moderate temperature is sufficient to restore the smoothness of the cotton.
