2013 Runway Metiers d’Arts Chanel Purple Tweed Tartan Coat

About the Item

Exceptional runway documented pre-Fall 2013 Chanel tartan coat from the Metiers d’Arts collection. Inspired by “the brutal romance of Scotland and the imagined meeting of Mary, Queen of Scots and Coco Chanel – two fashion queens,” said Karl Lagerfeld. The show was presented at Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots and this exact coat is seen here in Look 6 from the collection. The tartan mix is a warm burgundy, indigo blue and black tweed that has been box pleated at the lower skirt to mimic the pleating arrangements of a Scottish kilt. The oversized trench design is faux double breasted with magnificent pearl and purple enamel buttons reminiscent of a shield. The button design is mirrored at the four front pockets, lapels and the cuffs. There is a sash tie belt at the waist, and it is half lined in silk. In great pre-owned condition with no issues, the sizing tag has been removed but we feel it best corresponds to a French 40, US 8 or UK 12. The Circa team has all tried this on and in our opinion, unless you are tall, this is too large for UK size 8, or US 4 and below. It’s a great fit from UK size 10, US 6 upwards and will comfortably go to a UK 16 or US 12. A long trench coat from Chanel is close to £12,000 ($16k) new and our client recalls that this was over £10,000 ($13k) when purchased. A great investment purchase from a renowned collection.

  • 1960s Jeff Banks Clobber Black Velvet Hooded Coat
    By Jeff Banks
    Located in London, GB
    This late 1960s black velvet hooded Clobber coat has a real autumnal, almost witchy feel. It features a high neck with button and loop fastening running all the way down the front, with each button embossed with a etched floral repeat pattern. The velvet itself is a very fine chenille, which has a lovely luminosity to it despite being charcoal black in colour. Though the main body of the jacket is unlined the hood is lined with soft black silky fabric, making it lovely and comfortable to wear. The coat flares out slightly at the waist, creating a classic Victorian, almost gothic style silhouette. This coat is in excellent vintage condition, with no flaws or marks to note. It is shown here on our size 6-8 model and would best fit up to a 8-10 UK, or 4-6 US. The influential designer was a pivotal member of the swinging 60s London fashion scene when he cofounded 'Clobber' in Blackheath Village, London, in 1964. The boutique carried both his own designs and the work of other designers and attracted celebrities such as Terence Stamp and Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and some of the Beatles. It proved such a success that in 1969, he launched his own fashion label, opening the first standalone Jeff Banks...
