Curatorial Description

CHANEL · Exquisite Black Fluffy Cardigan Jacket with Embroidered Chain Trim • Coco Neige Collection · CHANEL Rare Collectible Knitwear & Outerwear Piece // Boutique value: over $8,000 // There is a particularly compelling side to Coco Neige when Chanel steps away from overt ski references and lets texture carry the entire mood This black cardigan jacket does exactly that. The surface is dense, tactile and almost cloud-soft, while the pale embroidered lines travel across it like abstract alpine ridges. The result feels warm and enveloping, but never rustic — a winter piece interpreted through the precision of Chanel // Size mark 38 FR / Condition: never worn // MATERIAL AUTHORITY • Crafted from an exceptionally soft black fluffy textile, with a richly looped, almost bouclé-like surface • The material has subtle glossier peaks throughout, giving the black an intermittent shimmer rather than a flat matte finish • The texture is plush and dimensional, with the surface changing constantly under light • The black reads deep and saturated, allowing the contrast embroidery to remain crisp and visible HOUSE CODES • The jacket is traced throughout with contrasting embroidered braiding, worked in a chain-inspired motif • A CC logo jewel closure punctuates the front, introducing a polished metallic point against the dense black texture • Ribbed knit collar and hem bring structure to the otherwise highly tactile body and give the jacket a relaxed cardigan character • Inside, the piece is finished with black silk lining, preserving the monochrome palette and creating a smooth counterpoint to the fluffy exterior SILHOUETTE • Relaxed cardigan-jacket proportion • Softly structured shoulders without stiffness • Ribbed collar sitting close to the neckline • Long sleeves with generous volume through the body • Straight torso with a lightly blousoned effect created by the ribbed hem
