CHANEL · Pastel Tweed Jacket with CC Gripoix Jewel Buttons
— Fall 1996, Karl Lagerfeld — As seen on Claudia Schiffer on the Runway

• Why this piece matters

— Chanel Fall 1996 under Karl Lagerfeld is a period collectors recognize instantly: supermodel-era power, atelier precision, and House codes rendered at full strength. This jacket is not “inspired by” Chanel — it is Chanel, sealed in tweed and Gripoix, calibrated for wear, collection, and permanent archive

// Size mark 38 FR / Condition: never worn //

• Signature tweed in a pastel, sun-warmed spectrum — beige, sand, terracotta blushes and muted ochres arranged in a refined check, like a textile fresco

• A contrast luxury brocade taffeta collar in metallic tone — the quiet flash that lifts the composition from classic to ceremonial

• The silhouette reads unmistakably Chanel: clean, architectural, and composed for the camera

— Gripoix · Seals of Identity —

• Masterpiece Gripoix jewel buttons — set with stones and marked with the CC as an official stamp within the weave

• Each button functions as punctuation: not merely closure, but a declaration of provenance

• The jacket holds its posture like couture armor: soft in palette, resolute in structure

• Tonal silk lining inside — the private completion of the garment, where drape and comfort are resolved with discipline
