This gorgeous jacket is from 2010 and we believe it is from the Cruise or Spring collection and is a piece that was made for the shops. It is an absolutely stunning Chanel jacket that has all of the hallmarks and details that you look for in Chanel, including six of those fantastic poured glass and metal buttons that we all love to see on Chanel pieces. 

The jacket is made from a lightweight house boucle that showcases a combination of silver and gold metal threads layered into the black base fabric along with teeny tiny black sequins. The combination of these elements is gorgeous and in person you really get a sense of the depth of texture that it creates. I love how the sequins subtly catch the light as you move. The fabric is woven on the bias in the traditional manner of their boucles and this is what gives the fabric its movement while still holding the shape beautifully. The suit is edged with a scalloped edged metallic finished black lace. The lace runs around the neck, down the front edge and circle around the hem. It also details each cuff and the pockets. The jacket is cut in that classic Chanel box shape with a slight shaping through the waist. The sleeves are long and cut on a slight curve to follow the shape of your arm. Top set pockets sit on each side at the front. The jacket closes with a hidden set series of hook and eye down the front underneath the lace edging. Inside, it is perfectly lined in a black silk that has Camellia flowers woven through the silk. A signature Chanel chain is hand set inside the hem of the jacket. I especially love the buttons on the cuffs of each sleeve. Each has three poured glass gripoix and gold metal buttons that combine deep red and green. The very centrepiece of each has been embossed with tiny Chanel double C's. I love it. This is classic Chanel and it is exceptional. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a black silk with Camellia flowers woven through the silk. The jacket hooks to close down the front. Very light padding in each shoulder. There are three working buttons on each cuff. A chain is hand sewn along the inner hem and the lining appears to be tacked in by hand. The jacket is tagged a Chanel 44. It appears to have been worn very little if at all

And just a note on their fabrics.... The Chanel boucle and tweeds are created with their proprietary method of weaving that they themselves describe as "by weaving the warp and weft, using a variety of different kinds of threads which creates a unique and somewhat irregular appearance. The warp – vertically strung – is the background of the fabric, the base that will support the assembly of materials. There can be up to 12 different threads used for a single warp. The weft – woven horizontally – gives the fabric its unique character and can have an unlimited number of threads. Tight, perforated, textured, thick, with a relief, plaited, random, twill… the potential number of effects is endless". This technique gives you that classic Chanel look.
