Haute
Couture Chanel Suit
Haute Couture, custom made, special order, the
best of the best, a classic Chanel Couture suit
is all that and more. This classic Chanel suit
made from black wool faille is a stunning
example.
The jacket has notched lapels, two breast
pockets, two hip pockets and a four button
closure. There are three buttons on the cuffs
and all of the buttons on the jacket have
functioning buttonholes, along with hand
finishing this is a mark of true couture
clothing. The jacket is lined in black silk with
the Chanel Couture label at the center back and
the traditional gold chain weight at the hem.
The slim skirt has no waistband. There is a deep
kick pleat at the left center front. The zipper
is concealed in the seam at the left side of the
back of the skirt. It is lined in black silk and
bears the couture label at the center back.
The black silk blouse is collarless and
sleeveless. It closes at the center back with
six hidden buttons and two snaps.
All three pieces are in excellent
condition. There is a small area, about 1/4
inch, in the jacket lining that shows some
wear. This was caused by rubbing against a
Chanel chain belt and it does not show when the
jacket is worn. It barely shows when you are
looking for the area. In no way does this
detract from the appearance of the suit.
