Gracekelly, I can’t believe this jacket looks like new, and it is so in style right now. This is what I love about a Chanel jacket - it never ages and looks current!
It looks quite light maybe summer or cruise.
The brooch goes so well with the jacket!
I felt the same way about brown, just took out some old browns I haven’t worn in years.
Hamburg jacket.
Love, love,love this outfit! The tonal look is so on trend too! Your Kelly! Barenia? If so, bag twins!
The jacket label says says 1998A, but yes, it is very lightweight which is why I bought it. Perfect for this climate, yet brown tweed, for a Fall look.

Ari you’ve got some serious style I love your posts
Hamburg! Love the collection. Karl experimented with some colors...very interesting mix. Unusual but worked so well.
I think Marc would be great! I think he is talented but I could see he won't turn Chanel into his brand but respect the heritage and Chanel aesthetic, and at the same time, will bring his twists
Thank you Gracekelly! Bag cousins ! Yes, my bag is Barenia, unfortunately not smooth but Faubourg . I love the smooth Barenia. I can not believe this jacket is 26 years old, so classic!
Thank you so much DLS! Too kind of you!
Yes, this collection was perfection, I was so privileged to see the show in Hamburg. This particular jacket is so simple, the fabric is a bit rough as something used in the past by workers, but still so special.
I have the blue version, and it's a thick cotton. It's soft with some stretch, though I found it ran slightly small, or I just gained a few pounds. I got my true size 38.
Want to get the forum’s opinion on this pink 13C coat, I love the color, but it feels a little snug at the armpit - is this an easy fix by Chanel? And overall is this a good piece to have?
And there some mild creasing from been folded in shipping, but should be easily smoothed out with proper hanging
TIA!!!

Very nice! This is the exact pale pink that is coming for Spring 2025. It can be fixed if you want it.
Pale pink is one of the fashionable colors for coming spring according to fashion writers. I don’t know what. Chanel will show other than what we have seen.
Except Jean-Paul Gautier did that first too
I wouldn't mind Gautier designing for Chanel
I don't hate MJ. I have a few MJ designed LV pieces they're very wearable. I would like to see someone who understands Chanel's archive, her subversion and her formulae. MJ just wants the job coz he's ambitious.
I think Karl was better at reinvention than invention, so nothing wrong with expressing the house DNA in a unique way rather than being (too) original. Karl did most things tongue in cheek at Chanel, even parody at times, but always with reverence. He could get serious when need be.
I fear Marc would not understand. His MJ ended-up as Bratz (dolls) do American preppy, and stick a frill on JIC.
VV tried to design 'young' which oddly came off frumpy. IMO, women of all ages want absolutely wearable, absolute beauty, absolute perfection from Chanel, able to add to their wardrobe year after year. If clothes don't work for all ages, they're not great clothes.
The Gabrielle Chanel Fashion Manifesto exhibition really opened my eyes to her championing of high Modernism whist paying close attention to the traditional exacting qualities of tailoring and dress-making. Everything was meticulous. Women could wear 80% of her couture 1920s-1971 from that exhibition and not appear to be wearing costume. I hope the designer does extraordinary detail rather than theatricality.
