• This is a rare black linen top from the 1980s. 
• It was made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld.
• It is incredibly difficult to find pieces from this era in this condition.
• The top is made of a beautiful high end black linen that has a very tight, smooth weave. You can instantly see the quality of the fabric when you see this in person.
• The top feels like something that you would have seen a supermodel wear on a runway back in its day.
• It has a neat notched collar and buttons to close with a widely spaced double row of buttons down the front. The buttons are all gold toned and etched around their edges and each has the famous Chanel four leaf clover at their centre.
• Set between the row of buttons is a vertical pleated detail that adds interest. This runs from the collar to the hem.
• More pleats sit at the top of the shoulders and these follow the softly sloping shoulder line and then extend into the sleeves. There is light padding inside each shoulder to help hold that shape.
• The sleeves are little works of art. The upper portion of the sleeve is set extremely wide and full into the body of the top and then they narrow down in at the wrist. The narrowing effect is created by a series of flat pleating the fabric all the way around the arm just above the seam of the cuff. I have taken a close-up for you to see. It is just incredible workmanship. Each cuff has two more of those four leaf lucky clover Chanel buttons.
• The cut is easy and boxy through the body. It is meant to be oversized. I love that its length will allow you to tuck it into anything for added shape and you could even belt it. The double row of buttons at the front give it and almost jacket feel so it has a lot of versatility.
• The top is unlined and buttons to close down the front and at each cuff. The oversized fit will work on a variety of sizes. It will just feel more oversized on a smaller frame.
• There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements below.
• Excellent condition

• The top is from the Spring 2001 season and it's twin walked the runway that season.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler. 
• The top is from the second last ready-to-wear collection that Thierry Mugler presented.
• He experimented with materials that included leather and netting as you see in this piece and the appearance of these wide angel sleeves were of note.
• I've only ever seen one other piece of this available that was done in a different colour from the runway piece like this one is in it's a phenomenal collectors piece
• The top is made out of a brown silk net that has leather pieces hand sewn into place onto the netting set to follow the design of the top.
• It wraps over itself at the front and ties at the waist. You can tie it to the side, the back, the front however you wish.
• The ties are extremely long and they are detailed with oblong pieces of leather in different sizes laid out to follow the cut of each tide.
• More leather curves down to follow the shape of the neckline at the front and go all the way across to the sides of the top. They curve up and over to the back where they come down in a little angled point there.
• The sleeves are as phenomenal. Each one ends in an extremely wide angel shape and is cut extra long. Again the little leather pieces have been applied to follow the shape of the sleeve and some go all the way up almost to the shoulder.
• It is just outstanding.
• The top is unlined and wraps to close.
• It is tagged a vintage Mugler 38.

• This is a fantastic vintage Celine leather motorcycle jacket.
• It was made under the creative direction of Phoebe Philo.
• The jacket is made from a soft leather that is heavy enough to hold its distinct shape.
• It has a small neat collar with padding and top stitching to create the distinctive motorcycle jacket features that you see.
• It closes to the side with an angled large silver zipper and then snaps to close at the collar above that.
• Zippered pockets are set on each side and there are four in total.
• Big silver buckles wrapped around the sides of the waist allowing you to cinch it in or open it more.
• The jacket is fully lined in a red quilted fabric. I see some minor grubbiness to the inside edge of the lining and very minor creasing on the arms.
• Tagged a Celine 34
