This exceptional Chanel Fall/Winter 1996 gold jacket is a rare masterpiece inspired by Coco Chanel’s fascination with Orientalism in the 1930s. Featuring a structured Mandarin collar and lightly padded shoulders, the design exudes sophistication. The jacket showcases a Nehru-style silhouette paired with an opulent Mughal-inspired belt, crafted from exquisite gold brocade and adorned with multicolored rhinestones. The four-flap pocket design, six functional Gripoix buttons at the cuffs, and intricate details highlight the impeccable craftsmanship.

This iconic piece is an important part of fashion history, having been featured in exhibitions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty", “Culture Chanel” in Seoul, Korea, in 2014. It has also been worn by fashion icons like Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Linda Evangelista, and Stella Tennant. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime find for collectors and admirers of haute couture.
