Got to see what my store had. Knitwear in the blue sweater is gorgeous and the corresponding off the shoulder top with the same knit. The black sweater hoodie dress with zipper was very cute, but when would I ever wear it? It was very comfortable, with 70/30 cotton/cashmere composition. The waffle weave tweed black and white classic jacket with 4 pockets was beautiful, but just a little too long for my frame. The knit was light and comfortable though. Overall, I think the pieces themselves were beautiful but not for me. After doing major damage recently, I'm happy with my few pieces. I did pick up the Mary Jane flats with bows that were in beige/black! Very comfortable.

I like the grey knit but I was hoping to score the green one instead. The matching knit skirt I liked except the slip underneath matched my skintone exactly to the point I looked naked underneath! And the slip isn't easily removable to be worn as a coverup unless you cut it out. It would probably look great on someone with a darker skin tone, though!

So for what it's worth I felt like the ski gear this coco neige was not insulated enough to the level of Perfect Moments, Fusalp, North face. Maybe I got the wrong impression but it was definitely a let down.

Funny , a Saks SA basically said the same thing as 880’s Chanel SA in Paris(?) but much more blunt, that these luxury capsule “ski” collections are basically for lounging and photoshoots or just overpriced from a licensing deal with skiwear manufacturers (think Luxottica and sunglasses). If you want performance go to Moncler Grenoble or Canada Goose, or actual dedicated outdoor brands.

That said, I have a habit of prioritizing design over function sometimes, so I will pick the less effective Coco Neige over something like Arcteryx

Agree. The RTW SA and manager in Paris told me this season ski wear is for apres ski.
I’m a fusalp Bogner fan.
