Vintage Chanel Size 8 / 10 Early 1990s Khaki Cotton Cargo Pants Gold CC Buttons

By Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel

Located in San Diego, CA

These vintage Chanel cargo pants from the early 1990s combine the brand’s signature luxury detailing with a utilitarian silhouette. Designed by Karl Lagerfeld, cut from soft khaki cotton, they feature a straight-leg fit with front pleats and side cargo pockets, bridging the shift from the fuller 1980s silhouette into the relaxed minimalism of the 1990s. The standout detail is the gold-tone CC logo buttons, a hallmark of late 1980s Chanel design, found at the waistband, cargo pockets, and rear welt pockets. The juxtaposition of utility styling with couture-level finishing embodies Karl Lagerfeld’s era at the house, where everyday pieces were elevated with unmistakable Chanel codes. Marked a vintage size, best fits like a modern US 8–10. The pants measure: • 31-inch waist • 45-inch hip • 11.5-inch rise • 30-inch inseam A rare find for collectors of Chanel ready-to-wear, these trousers balance function and elegance, pairing effortlessly with a crisp white shirt, silk blouse, or tailored jacket. ⸻ Key Features: • Designer: Chanel • Era: Early 1990s (with late 1980s CC button hardware) • Style: Cargo pants with pleated front • Color: Khaki • Fabric: 100% cotton • Hardware: Gold-tone CC logo buttons • Fit: Straight leg, high rise • Details: Side cargo pockets, rear welt pockets, belt loops • Size: Fits modern US 8–10 (see measurements) • Measurements: See above • Made in France early 1990s Chanel pants, vintage Chanel cargo, Chanel CC button trousers, khaki cotton Chanel pants, Chanel straight leg pants, Chanel pleated cargo trousers, 80s Chanel buttons, vintage Chanel clothing, Chanel khaki trousers, luxury vintage Chanel pants

1990s French Fashion

Fashion: Shop Vintage Clothing, Haute Couture and More

Fashion is littered with stories we can’t help but consume with voracity. Behind the world’s revered luxury houses and designers, there are often accounts of modest beginnings that gave way to the resonant work we’ve cherished all of our lives.

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel learned to sew under the tutelage of nuns in an orphanage. Later, as an impoverished teenager at a boarding school in central France, clad in the drab clothes of the underclass compared to those of her classmates, she furthered her needlework skills. By the early 1900s, she was helming a hat shop with help from her sister and her aunt.

Chanel made spare, unadorned hats at first, and the now-momentous “little black dress,” published in the form of a sketch in Vogue in 1926, symbolized her intention to design for all social classes. Working with simple lines and ordinary fabrics, Chanel created garments that she hoped would encourage women to leave extravagant clothes behind. The young milliner would soon become pivotal to the evolution of both covetable casual wear and handmade high-fashion apparel, building a brand that has influenced countless designers all over the world.

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only,” Chanel said. “Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

Around the same time, a young former hotel bellboy named Guccio Gucci began to sell imported leather luggage from a small retail space in his native Florence, and it wouldn’t be long before he was overseeing a number of artisans who were making leather goods and other accessories. With the help of his sons, he opened a second shop in Rome and later launched his handbags, wallets and more.

There are people like Chanel and Gucci, sometimes of meager means, working in near obscurity to create lasting and innovative garments and accessories that today fill the interiors of our favorite boutiques and, ultimately, the closets of our home.

There are family-owned luxury-goods companies, such as Hermès in Paris, which began as a saddle manufacturer in the 1800s, serving the era’s carriage trade before it would expand to include venerable handbags as well as its numerous silk scarves, each emblazoned with a richly decorative design.

For many of us, the narratives behind the ornate monograms that adorn these iconic works are just as important as the items themselves.

Haute couture from the House of Chanel — practical, form-fitting evening dresses and menswear made of fine tweeds — has a long lineage, but now it’s earned a legitimate place in museums as often as it has in the homes of modern marquee influencers. Vintage Yves Saint Laurent leather clutches and handbags couldn’t have aged better over time, either. The French luxury fashion label’s long history of vibrant, gender-blurring designs, including the revolutionary Mondrian minidress in 1965, owe to the creative inclinations of a young Yves, who made paper dolls as a child and designed dresses for the women in his family by the time he was a teenager.

The appeal of vintage and designer clothing — whether it’s nostalgia for ’80s fashion treasures like oversize blazers or the bright and elaborate patterns that characterize sundresses of the 1960s — endures, and our appetite for irreplaceable garments as well as their riveting origin stories won’t recede anytime soon. An authentic handbag or purse from Hermès isn’t merely durable and alluring. The Birkin, for example, is hand-sewn according to Hermès’s centuries-old saddle-stitching technique, comes in a variety of exotic leathers and is also a savvy investment.

“The Birkin’s value has consistently risen and never fluctuated downward,” says Reece Morgan, head of handbags and accessories for Xupes, citing the fact that “production has been highly limited to maintain its unattainable aura.” In fact, he adds, Hermès has been “scaling back production each year.”

Today, we’re captivated by the work of prodigious Illinois-born talent Virgil Abloh, who not only triumphed in the fashion world with his Milan-based streetwear label Off-White, but was also a visual artist, a furniture designer and more. In 2018, Abloh, who learned about fashion from his seamstress mother, became one of the first Black designers to head a French luxury fashion house, having secured an artistic director role at Louis Vuitton.

“His clothing turns wearers into accomplices of his grand artistic scheme,” Michael Darling, the chief curator at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, wrote of Abloh’s work.

On 1stDibs, you can revel in the stories behind the fashion we love and browse everything from classic, one-of-a-kind gowns crafted by Parisian couturiers to stylish, modern streetwear designed by forward-looking brands. Shop 19th-century Louis Vuitton trunks or kaleidoscopic and colorful 1960s skirts by Emilio Pucci or edgy ensembles by visionary designers like Azzedine Alaïa. Your fashion journey begins right here.
