Chanel Navy and Cardinal Red Coat

Chanel Boutique 97A 100% Wool Navy Blue Coat with Cardinal Red trim, 100% Silk navy lining. French size 38. Best fits a US size 2 or small 4. Made in France History: This coat was seen in a 1997 Vogue editorial on red haired model and Karl Lagerfeld muse Kristen McMenamy. When I pulled this coat out of covered storage and placed it on Vintaj, I thought this why is I do this. It feels like Alexander McQueen would have approved of this design. A very structured piece, it’s substantial fine boiled wool fabrication makes it keep its shape from all angles. This coat reminds me of the Australian Alps and Salzburg. Dramatic with cardinal red embroidery, with some similarity to the later Chanel Salzburg collection. The Sound of Music of coats. It actually vibrates at a higher frequency and is the only on in mint condition.
