Description
History of the Model: Chanel has always included skirts with sober lines in its collections, inspired by both men’s wardrobe and uniforms. The straight skirt is one of the house’s must-haves, particularly since the 1980s when Karl Lagerfeld brought it back into the spotlight in modernized tailored ensembles. The addition of decorative elements such as branded metal buttons evokes the military universe, often revisited in the brand’s Fall/Winter collections, where wool and angora are frequently used for their thermal properties and their outfit.
Exterior Details: The exterior fabric combines wool and angora, offering a slightly felted appearance and a dense texture, ideal for mid-season or winter. The anthracite gray color is both sober and easy to match. At the front, two slanted pockets structure the line and provide a functional aspect. The back of the skirt features two faux welt pockets and a concealed zipper. The side seams are embellished with three metal buttons on each side, engraved with the Chanel logo, bringing a distinctive touch to the model.
Interior Details: The interior is fully lined in black silk, ensuring a smooth and pleasant fit. The finishes are clean, as usual at Chanel, with invisible seams and a reinforced interior belt. The lining also helps preserve the shape of the skirt over time and avoids any static electricity effect.
Product Condition: This piece is in very good general condition. No major tears or defects are visible. The wool retains its structure without visible pilling, and the buttons are complete and well fixed. The zipper works perfectly and the interior lining has no stains or tears.
Care Instructions: Dry cleaning is recommended, ideally by a professional accustomed to handling textiles containing angora. For storage, avoid thin hangers which could mark the size, and favor a padded hanger or folded flat in a fabric cover.

It represents an excellent choice for lovers of functional, elegant and well-designed vintage pieces.
