CHANEL · “Little Black” Tweed Dress with Cassette Trim
— opening look of Paris / ROME 2016 Métiers d’Art Collection, Karl Lagerfeld

• Campaign & Billboard-seen · Timeless house icon

— This is the little black tweed dress as cinematic relic, cut with the restraint of a title card and finished with details that feel like film-editing marks: precise, rhythmic, and quietly unforgettable

— Beyond trend cycles, it stands as a collectible object from one of Lagerfeld’s most atmospheric Métiers d’Art chapters.

// Size mark 34 FR / Condition: never worn //

• Crafted from signature black tweed, dense and tactile, reading like Chanel’s own noir fabric — matte, deep, and sovereign

— ”Cassette Trim” · Italian Cinema in Couture Grammar

• Finished throughout with woven “cassette” trim — a tape-like braid that frames neckline, armholes, pocket edges, and hem with editorial precision

• The effect evokes Italian cinematography: controlled chiaroscuro, clean framing, and that Rome-at-night mood where elegance becomes architecture

— Silhouette · Timeless Discipline

• A refined sleeveless A-line / shift profile — pure, balanced, and instantly legible as Chanel.
• Two patch pockets at the sides deliver the house’s practical poetry: utility rendered elegant.

— Emblem · The Seal at the Side

• A CC logo jewel charm at the side functions like a discreet signature — a talismanic punctuation that confirms provenance without breaking the dress’s minimalist authority.

• Tonal silk lining inside — the inner sanctum that stabilizes drape and completes the object as a true Métiers d’Art piece.
