CHANEL · Paris / EDINBURGH Black Tweed Jacket Métiers d’Art 2013 — Advertising Campaign — A talisman of tweed and tartan. A statement chapter of Chanel history — — Born from Karl Lagerfeld’s romantic dialogue with the Highlands, this Paris / EDINBURGH jacket stands as one of the collection’s most emblematic visions — where Chanel’s Parisian rigor meets the ancestral poetry of Scotland — Seen throughout the advertising campaign, worn by celebrated figures, and endlessly echoed in editorial pages, it has become an icon of modern couture mythology // Size mark 38 FR / Condition: never worn // • Crafted in Chanel’s signature woven black tweed, dense and tactile, absorbing light rather than reflecting it — a textile of depth, restraint, and quiet authority • The lapels unfold in a romantic Highland tartan, a sudden revelation of color and history, like a hidden lineage disclosed only to those who look closely • Adorned with masterpiece Gripoix jewel buttons bearing the CC emblem, placed at the front and echoed at the back — ceremonial markers of Maison identity
