Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread

[ms piggy]

Twinning with the white knit trousers and grey cardi. Agree that the price of the grey cardi is *gulp* esp when there r so many 'holes'. The team says its cable knit style.. but price is still... and i noticed some of the knits have frayed.. they may say its the look.. but NOPE.. aint gonna pay USD7k for it..
I liked the white knit trousers too.. but concern if nude/beige undies can still be seen.. and also the hems will be easily dirty.. didnt bring it home with me finally since i have so many concerns..

White sleeveless shirt wasnt that wow.. so left it there..

Valid reasoning and I get you esp with the grey cardi. The white trousers are not translucent but care is required for the hems. I love white and the superb cut so just got to be more careful.

Love the grey knit pose super helpful to know it’s heavy (and expensive)!

The scalloped lime green top I recall was expensive too for what it was, over $4k I believe

Haha, the grey cardi is weighty both for the body and wallet. Indeed the chartreuse (thank you Hermes for schooling colour names) scalloped cardigan is pricey, so the justification is that the colour is unique and it brightens the complexion.

Any reason why the grey cardi is more expensive then the similar green or yellow one? From pictures I don't see much difference?

The yellow? cardi is cute. It's the one I'm waiting on. Is it more green in person ? What colors could it go with other than white? Thinking cost per wear since it's 4250...

I know it’s pricier than the chartreuse scallop cardigan but can’t confirm how it compares to the similar green/yellow style.

It goes with all the neutrals including navy, grey or brown, possibly plum.

It reminds me of the yellow jacket. That color is terrible on me, I think but looks nice on you.

Has anyone seen the green jacket yet? I saw the skirt yesterday and it was nice but the SA told me they didn't get the jacket.

You look great and I also adore your travel pics! Any opinion as to whether the white knit pants will sag or bag out? The fit is so gorgeous on you

25C try on. The grey knit was lovely but quite hefty. The white knit trousers was a pleasant surprise as the fit is perfect, no alterations required at all.

It all looks great on you and especially love the white pant!

My concern would be cleaning. Knits can be problematic even at the dry cleaner. Always afraid of shrinkage or getting too big.

I made a comparison since my local store had all 3 pcs. The difference is in the material of the knit and the buttons. The grey knit is sturdier, thicker and buttons are lovely, no cc logo on it, it’s crystal studded flower pattern. The yellow and green are of the same material, lighter and looks like it frays very easily..or perhaps meant to have the frayed look.. but to me it’s looks very worn out with frays and more like something worth $50 rather then thousands..if I try to describe further… the material is very similar to those knit yarn balls that we use for home knit items.. works nicely when it’s tightly knitted together but in Chanel’s case, it’s meant to be loose knit with ‘holes’ so it doesn’t look luxurious … buttons have cc logo against iridescent background..

Oh! Thanks @gracekelly for another concern… didn’t think about the shrinkage/ expansion after cleaning…

I went to try all the black pants my SA gathered for me this past week. They’re supposed to be cropped and as I expected they were regular length on me which was perfect. While I did like the fit of the ribbed wool pants and the tweed pair, I discovered even with the lining, they itched so that was that, easy pass for me. Thanks again to everyone here who gave me advice!

I tried a few pieces but this jacket was the only one that made me linger so I took a quick pic.



There were a few cruise items already displayed, namely the fish pieces and the black logo glittered tops. I requested the jeans (as usual lol) with the cute back pockets so hopefully my SA can get a pair.

Everything looks gorgeous! Which pieces did you go for? I also bought the white trousers (so lovely and also come in black which I also bought - really good basics) and the yellow cardigan. Im waiting for the denim vest. I declined the turquoise top but I am wondering if I should have taken it...

Can someone tell me retail price for this cardigan from coco beige? Can't seem to find it on the website. Thanks!

 

[ClassicTwist]

Did anyone try this on from Coco Neige? I have a couple of cold trips coming up so I'm having my size brought in. I just can’t understand the price… (other than it being Chanel!)
