This is an absolute stunning silk chiffon dress from Chanel. It is truly one of the prettiest and chicest pieces I have seen from the label during this time period. It is made from feather light layers of a high quality, fine silk chiffon set to float over each each other through the skirt. The layering of the chiffon is used with a masterful hand to create light and dark areas where needed. The fabric is draped and gathered perfectly to create that gorgeous and feminine silhouette. The top is kept simple and chic with a high cut neckline at the front. At the back it dips into a low V to show some bare skin. Suspended within the bodice is a second layer of chiffon that covers the bust and keeps it from being completely transparent. A wide gathered panel of silk chiffon is set to wrap around the waist and define it. At the back this banding comes together to close with a series of tightly spaced gold metal embossed buttons that run down the back. Below this is the skirt flows and floats around you when you move. It is made from three layers of silk. Each layer wraps around the body and is cut to leave a soft hem that dips down at the sides and back. It is the perfect mix of sexiness and elegance. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a black silk chiffon and closes down the back with a series of tightly spaced gold metal embossed buttons over a hidden set zipper. The skirt has a touch of transparency to it. Light boning through the bust and sides.

Cashmere has been and always will be one of the most luxurious of fabric choices and perfect black jacket by Chanel is made form 100% cashmere. It is perhaps some of the best grade cashmere in the world and you will be thrilled to wear this soft and rich feeling jacket. I would hazard to say that being vintage makes it even better then the newer pieces as the quality of the cashmere would have been even greater. With a classic double breasted cut that is set low on the front, this is a jacket that will go with pretty much anything. It is cut in that classic elongated Chanel box cut to just past hip in length. There are two top set pocket on the front of the jacket that are set low near the hem. It is adorned with an incredible 14 gold metal Chanel buttons that give it that extra little bit of logo glamour. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a hand set, high quality, fine black silk and closes with the buttons at the front. The pockets are functional and silk lined. Hand finished. I see the teeniest of patina on some of the buttons from normal wear but nothing that deters in anyway or compromises any of them. Tagged a vintage Chanel 38 but seems to have a generous cut.

This black pleated silk crepe skirt by Chanel skirt is fabulous and a staple of the Chanel look. The fabric is a fine silk crepe in a deep true black that will go with everything. It is so hard to convey the quality and fineness of a black piece especially when the work is as fine as from Chanel. The person that buys this will be extremely pleased to see the level of work and quality of this piece in person. The skirt is completely knife pleated in perfectly spaced lines, which gives it a long and lean cut when you are standing still but allows for a tremendous amount of volume and movement. Around the hips are two stitched rows that keep the pleats closed and give shape around the hip. The final effect is gorgeous and it moves wonderfully once on.  Excellent condition.

A chic set from the legendary house of Chanel is one you will wear over and over. Both pieces are superbly simple in cut, and yet have a touch of sexy innocence to them. The colors are a mix of a deep blue with green and red checks set over the silk - one the skirt this is done in stacked boxes and on the top set on the side to create a diamond shape. The skirt is tightly knife pleated below the fitted waist and hips so it falls fairly straight but with tons of volume and swing when you move without adding bulk around your middle. The waist has a gold button at the waist to close and this is embossed with tiny double C's. The top is a soft cut that slips on with soft cap sleeves and alight padding through the shoulder to give then a touch of height. Each has a button cuff just above the elbows and this allows the sleeve to puff up above. I love the drawstring that runs through the waist of the top. It is cut to just hit the top of the waist band of the skirt but you could cinch it in and create an expanse of skin between if you wish. Excellent condition

The top is unlined and the skirt lined in a black, fine silk lining. The skirt closes with a button at the side on the waistband. The top slips with a button at each cuff and a drawstring though the waist.

This is an absolute stunning dress from 1998 Chanel runway. My client knew that it was a runway piece and after sifting through 100s of photos we finally spotted it in the photo added here for reference. Everything about it has that chic Chanel feel that makes many of Karl's designs classics forever. It is very beautiful in person and the simple lines and cut make it the kind of dress that you can wear multiple times and the styling and accessories you add will make it feel different each time. It is two separate pieces and each is made of light crepe chiffon in a milk chocolate color. The over layer seems to be able to be worn with the opening to either the back or front and I photoed it both ways for you (it was worn to the back on the runway). The inner dress is as simple sheath with a low plunging bodice made of a double layer of the fabric and is cut with a deep plunge, it has the feel of a bikini top in coverage. The skirt of the inner dress is semi-transparent because it is made of a single layer of fabric. Note that in person it is not as transparent as it photoed since the light made it more so. Over this you layer the outer overlay which is almost like a sleeveless jacket. It hooks at the neck and waist and has a ling attached tie that comes out from the neck that you can style many ways. A caped overlay sits over the top and it also extends into long ties that can be simple knotted or wrapped in as many ways as you can think of. It is the perfect mix of sexiness and elegance. Excellent condition.

The inner dress bodice is made of two layers of the silk crepe chiffon and the rest of the ensemble is unlined. The over lay has hook & eye at the neck and waist and the inner dress closes with a hidden set side zipper. Tagged a Chanel 36 from collection 98A

Karl Lagerfeld is a genius when it comes to combining cut and fabric and this Chanel dress showcases that. The dress is made from a fine, light crepe silk fabric that has been woven into a square grid pattern that gives it a very unusual texture. This technique also makes the fabric very light and pliable with lots of movement. One in it is very comfortable and easy to wear. This feeling of ease is made more so by the fine silk that lines it. The color is a deep, rich milk chocolate and the cut is deceptively simple. The fabric he chose for this dress has the same properties as the iconic boucle that the house regularly uses and is bias cut in all four directions. This means that it moves easily over the body with no restrictions while at the same time always keeping its shape. The bodice is sleeveless with a V neckline and very simple. The waist is set at a slight drop and the fabric skims over the body in a sleek column from the shoulder to the floor. Pockets sit on each hip and each pocket has a distinctive Chanel logo button adorning it. Excellent condition.

Fully interlined in a fine brown silk crepe and closes with a back hidden set zipper. Hidden pockets on each hip each with a Chanel button. Extra Chanel button included. Beautifully constructed with hand finishes

It is always wonderful to have a true piece of Haute Couture and this Chanel suit is to absolutely beautiful. You can never go wrong with having a classic Chanel suit in your wardrobe and to have a Haute Couture version is that much more special. The current cost of a Chanel Haute couture suit is in the tens of thousands of dollars so the investment in a vintage version is not only smart but a prudent use of your dollars. 

This suit dates to the late 1950s, early 1960s and although unlabeled, it has all of the hallmarks of the Chanel suit - the chain at the inner hem, the vertically stitched inner quilt effect used during this time period and the fine, inner workmanship all done by hand. It is constructed from a classic Chanel boucle that upon close inspection is actually a mix of a pink and coral wool woven and thatched through a black and ivory base. The proprietary boucle Chanel uses gives the fabric structure and stability one way and a slight bias cut effect the other. This also is what creates the perfect fit that Chanel suits have. The fabric has the movement to really sculpt to the wearer and yet retains its shape at the same time. It is masterfully cut and constructed with all the work done by hand. The skirt is just below the knee with a slight flared cut and two inverted pleats. The jacket is classic Chanel with the signature four flap pocket front, each highlight with a domed, gold filigree metal button. The jacket has no closures and a stitched down, secured collar. The packets and cuffs have a contrasting black silk detailing. The inner top quilted paneling of the lining is so well done you could almost flip the entire suit inside out and wear it that way.  Everything about it is special to the last detail. Excellent condition.

Both pieces are lined in a black silk that is stitched in long vertical panels in the jacket. The lining is entirely set and finished by hand. The skirt closes with a hand set painted metal zipper and a flat hook and eye at the waist. It has an additional interlining of black silk organza. The jacket has no closures and the pockets and cuffs are decorated with with domed brass filigree buttons. The signature gold chain runs along the inner edge of the lining.

Without doubt this is one of the best vintage Chanel pieces I have seen in a very long time. It is truly an exceptional piece of vintage and I doubt you will see this again. From the fabric, to the cut, to the sheer impact the set has, it is an extraordinary example of the house and how fine the workmanship can be. It is made of a red silk lurex that has a rich metallic sheen. Onto this a curving chenille cord is hand applied and winds and coils over both pieces to create a high impact design that is remarkable. Both pieces are lined in the finest tissue silk available and this combination feels like pure luxury once on the body. To offset that strong statement made by the exterior fabric, both pieces are kept almost starkly simple in their cut. The jacket simply slips on with a box cut and no closures. I love how the edges are all lined in the same chenille cording. The skirt is cut to fit around the hips and then flares out as it nears the hem. The fabric is not excessively heavy but has enough weight to it that both pieces hold their shape and the final effect is almost sculptural. I love the pockets on the skirt. I suspect that this is an early Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel assemble but have not yet found documentation of that. It has the Chanel boutique label in the jacket and the skirt has a hand written tape label inside. Most likely this was a custom or special order piece. It seems to be entirely hand finished inside so I would consider this to be demi-couture. It is very wonderful and a real treasure for the Chanel collector. Excellent condition

Full lined in a fine black tissue silk. Hand set and finished. The jacket has no closures and the skirt closes with hand set zipper at the back and hook and eye at the waist band. Light padding in the shoulders of the jacket and pockets along the side seams on the skirt. Tape label reads "141 22141" thought he last number maybe be something else.

This Chanel sundress is spectacular. It is the perfect summer dress and being Chanel makes you feel decadent and spoiled the second you slip it on. It is made of a black and white knit - which is practically a neutral in Karl Lagerfeld's world. The knit is light but with enough weight to hold the shape he desired the dress to have. It has a definite seventies feel to it with its ruffle edged tiers and full length. The top is suspended by wide straps and ruffles adorn the upper edges and waist. The skirt skims the hips and it falls to the floor with a second tiered skirt near the bottom - again edged above and below that that ruffled knit trimming. There is a surprising amount of fabric in the skirt so the dress really moves wonderfully around you when you move. It is classic, feminine and sexy all at the same time. A gingham adorned double C logo button sits on the waist on one side - just in case anyone doubts you are wearing Chanel. Excellent condition.

The bodice has a double layer of the same fabric and it zips to close at the side with a hidden set zipper. The fabric does have some stretch so there will be a variety of sizes that can wear it. It is tagged a Chanel 38 but please check listed measurements

This beautiful silk blouse was produced and made by hand by the Chanel atelier. It is a true, numbered Haute Couture. Haute Couture is the very pinnacle of the fashion experience and I would hazard to say that vintage versions are even a little more special then modern ones. This piece comes direct from the daughter of the original Haute Couture client so has not been on the market prior to this.

The top is amazing and has a beautiful and classic cut and silhouette that is and will remain timeless. It is entirely done by hand and the silk is of the highest possible grade. It feels stupendous on. The top is loose fitting and the sleeves slightly voluminous above their deep French cuffs. I love the play on the tuxedo shirt through the panels of fabric that run down the front and hide the off-set buttons and snaps that close it down one side. It is truly a brilliant piece that when you see it in person you will be astounded at the level of craftsmanship and care put into the construction. A masterpiece. In excellent overall condition.

Unlined with all interior seams hand finished. It closes with hand set, hidden buttons at the front side and a series of silk covered snaps. French cuffs, however they do not have the buttons - it did come with one french cuff link but they are not marked Chanel so I cannot be sure if it is original - I will send with it regardless . My client recalls her mother wearing these with jeweled cuffs and we suspect she ordered it without buttons since she wore her own jeweled version. Entirely hand done as one would expect from Haute Couture. I see a very very slight color change here and there but only if inspected in certain light - at first I thought this was a play of the light and fabric. I have priced it accordingly but do not think this impacts it all when worn.
