~ From the gilded twilight of the Paris–Byzance story comes a piece woven not merely from yarn, but from symbols, echoes, and the memory of ancient courts

~ This tunic dress stands as one of the rarest expressions of Karl’s Byzantine imagination — a couture message encoded in thread, shimmer, and ritual geometry

~ A metaphysical artifact of the Paris–Byzance odyssey, destined for the most enlightened and discerning Chanel archives.

~ A garment that feels excavated from an imperial treasury rather than sewn in a modern atelier — a relic for collectors who understand the metaphysical pulse of Chanel’s Métiers d’Art

— Hand-woven knit of extraordinary complexity, composed of deep imperial purples interlaced with shimmering metallic threads, creating a mosaic of light that shifts like Byzantine glasswork

— Couture embroidery at collar, cuffs, and hem: embellished squares, micro-fringe, and jewel-toned accents referencing ancient cloisonné and palace ornamentation

— CC jewel Gripoix charm at the hem, a miniature talisman that anchors the garment in Chanel’s lineage of sacred adornment

— Openwork lattice pattern along the dress body — an interplay of opacity and revelation, echoing the architecture of sacred screens

— Tunic silhouette with regal posture, draping with the serenity of a liturgical vestment — a garment that transcends fashion to approach ritual
