Description
History of the model: Chanel has always made tweed and knitwear pillars of its stylistic identity, inherited from the influence of Gabrielle Chanel who introduced these materials into the women’s wardrobe in the 1920s. This knitted dress is a continuation of the house’s creations combining freedom of movement and structured elegance. The choice of a colorful knit, here enhanced with yellow, red threads and touches of blue on an ivory background, recalls the summer inspirations of Chanel’s cruise collections, where sophistication mixes with the lightness of the materials. Exterior details: The dress is made from a knit worked with geometric patterns and colorful stripes. The play on textures is distinguished by the alternation of thick threads, woven ribbons and relief details, creating a lively and vibrant material. The trapeze cut, slightly flared from the shoulders, offers a loose fit, while the three-quarter sleeves add a touch of modernity. The boat neck softens the neckline and slightly reveals the collarbone. The patch pockets are lined with matching braid and closed with gold metal buttons engraved with the iconic double C. Interior details: The interior of the dress is unlined, highlighting the quality of the knitting and allowing for better breathability. The finishes are clean, the seams lined and the lapels carefully worked, which testifies to the level of manufacturing specific to the house of Chanel. Product Condition: The dress is in very good vintage condition, with no tears, stains or distortion of the fabric. The mesh retains all its elasticity and structure, the buttons are original and securely attached, and there are no notable signs of wear. The set is clean and ready to wear. Care instructions: It is recommended to have this piece dry cleaned, entrusting the knitting to a specialist in delicate textiles. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light to preserve color vibrancy. For storage, use a padded hanger or fold it flat in a dry environment to avoid any tension on the mesh. Why choose this product: This CHANEL knit trapeze dress combines authenticity, know-how and comfort, in a rare format in size 44, often difficult to find in luxury vintage ready-to-wear. Its look, both joyful and refined, makes it particularly suitable for mild seasons, while its iconic details make it an emblematic piece of the Chanel universe. It is ideal for lovers of vintage clothing who want to add a piece to their wardrobe that is expressive, timeless and comfortable.
