Why this piece matters The great Salzburg pieces rarely reach the market. The campaign Edelweiss cape belongs to an even smaller category — garments that collectors know by name and spend years searching for. Combining couture embroidery, jewel hardware, campaign provenance, and one of Lagerfeld’s most celebrated Métiers d’Art narratives, it stands among the true treasures of modern Chanel collecting.
