Model History:
Tweed is inseparable from Chanel’s history. Introduced in the 1920s by Gabrielle Chanel, this fabric inspired by the Scottish men’s wardrobe has been rethought to create feminine silhouettes that are both elegant and practical. Reinterpreted each season, tweed has become a mainstay of Chanel collections. This dress continues that tradition, highlighting the intricate weave and artisanal finishes characteristic of the house, while modernizing the traditional silhouette.
Exterior Details:
The dress features a dense tweed blend of wool (43%), acrylic (38%), cotton, polyamide, viscose and polyester, offering a textured yet supple feel. Metallic threads add a subtle sparkle to the emerald-green weave. The straight, long-sleeved cut is punctuated by yokes embroidered with hand-applied velvet squares and shiny threads. These decorative elements adorn the horizontal band below the bust, the cuffs and the bottom of the dress. The back zipper is concealed for a clean, sober finish.
Interior Details:
The interior is fully lined in green silk with a jacquard pattern, illustrating camellias and tone-on-tone Chanel logos. This luxurious lining guarantees pleasant contact with the skin and ensures the perfect fit of the dress. The internal seams are clean and reinforced, testifying to the quality of the workmanship.
Product Condition:
The dress is in excellent condition, with no visible flaws or major signs of wear. The tweed retains its compact appearance, the appliqués are intact, and the zipper works perfectly. The silk lining shows no stains or snags, highlighting very careful conservation.
Care instructions:
Professional dry-cleaning is recommended to preserve the structure of the tweed and the delicacy of the embroidered elements. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light, and store the dress on a wide hanger in a fabric cover.
