CHANEL · Camellia-Motif Lesage Tweed Ensemble

• Mid-2000s Karl Lagerfeld— Exceptionally rare · archival-era collectible · motif echoed again in Fall 2024 —

— A 2005 Fall Lagerfeld ensemble that reads like Chanel’s own botanical code preserved in woven form — the camellia not as a decoration, but as grammar — a two-piece relic whose surface carries the house symbol at full volume, decades before its later recapture in the 2024 fall vocabulary

// Size mark for both pieces 38 FR / Condition: never worn //

— The Ensemble · Two Objects, One Language —

• Jacket-coat with an elongated, structured line — architectural and ceremonial, designed to hold the motif with authority.

• Matching skirt in the same textile, creating a complete, disciplined set: not “matched,” but composed

— Material Authority · Lesage Woven Tweed as Living Relief

• Crafted from precious woven Lesage tweed, articulated with voluminous black camellia forms blooming across a grey-black ground

• The camellias read as relief — shadowed petals emerging from the weave like an embedded signature, giving the surface a controlled chiaroscuro: floral presence without softness

— Hardware · Seals of Identity

• CC logo jewel buttons at the front of the jacket-coat — talismanic closures that function as institutional seals

• CC logo charm at the skirt waist — a small emblem placed exactly where the silhouette is anchored, like a signed punctuation mark.
  Inner Architecture

• Finished with black silk lining — the inner sanctum that stabilizes drape and confirms this as a fully resolved couture object, not merely a patterned surface.
