CHANEL · Lavender Tweed Suit with Jewel Buttons
— French Riviera 2012 Cruise, Karl Lagerfeld

• Status: legendary Lagefeld-era collectible

• French Riviera 2012 is one of Lagerfeld’s most luminous Cruise chapters, and this suit captures its essence in concentrated form

— Lagerfeld takes Chanel’s most disciplined form, the fitted jacket and pencil skirt, and gives it an almost dreamlike clarity: pastel without innocence, elegance without nostalgia

— The result is unmistakably Chanel — poised, luminous, and composed beyond the reach of trends

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

— House Codes · Material Authority

• Signature tweed in a noble pastel-lavender shade — softly luminous, tactile, and rare in its chromatic restraint

• Jacket and skirt conceived as one continuous statement: color, line, and proportion in complete accord

— Jewels · Seals · Couture Hardware

• Masterpiece jewel buttons — among the most exquisite ever created by Gripoix for Chanel, each one functioning as a miniature object of light

• Their silver-toned radiance gives the lavender tweed its ceremonial punctuation: not decoration, but identity made precious.

— Silhouette · Presence

• Fitted jacket with sculpted waist and subtly softened peplum line — feminine, precise, and effortlessly commanding

• Knee-length pencil skirt — clean and elongated, balancing the jacket’s structure with restrained sensuality

— Inner Architecture

• Tonal silk lining inside — the private completion of the ensemble, resolving comfort, movement, and drape.
