Curatorial Description

— From the resplendent Paris / BOMBAY 2012 Métiers d’Art collection, this coat is more than couture — it is a collectible relic, destined not only for the wardrobe but for the canon of collectible history • Boutique value exceeds $12,000, but whose true worth lies beyond commerce: it is a masterpiece where fabric becomes philosophy, and couture becomes metaphysics // Size mark 48 FR / Condition: never worn // • Woven in the sacred ateliers of Lesage, its tweed is a profound symphony of deep purple interwoven with navy and crimson threads • The silhouette, gently fitted, elongates the form with effortless grace, a gesture of quiet power and timeless femininity • Adorning its double-breasted front are Gripoix jewel-inspired buttons, each one a miniature cosmos — stones transmuted into talismans, symbols of Chanel’s alchemy where jewelry and tailoring become one • Within, a tonal silk lining whispers with camellia accents, Chanel’s eternal flower, secret and sacred to those who understand the codes
