An exceptionally rare vintage Chanel skirt suit in the dreamiest shade of soft pink bouclé, trimmed throughout with signature braided detailing and finished with iconic gold tone CC buttons at the sleeves and pockets. This elegant two-piece ensemble embodies the timeless sophistication of late 1970s to early 1980s Chanel Boutique design, just before the dramatic transformation of the house under Karl Lagerfeld.
The texture on this set is absolutely exquisite in person, with a richly woven bouclé fabrication that gives the suit incredible depth and dimension. The braided trim framing the neckline, front placket, cuffs, and pockets adds a distinctly couture feel that Chanel collectors endlessly search for. The silhouette remains eternally chic and wearable today, whether styled traditionally together or broken apart for a more modern editorial look.
The jacket pairs beautifully with denim, silk trousers, or even layered over a slip dress, while the skirt works effortlessly with cashmere knits and crisp white shirting. This is the kind of Chanel set that instantly evokes Parisian elegance, private luncheons at the Ritz, and classic Slim Aarons glamour.
Made in France.
