This is a stunning vintage Chanel "little black jacket" from the Fall/Winter 1996 collection, a rare and iconic piece that perfectly embodies the timeless elegance of the brand. This collector’s piece debuted on the Chanel Fall 1996 runway, styled by Karl Lagerfeld and modeled by some of the most iconic supermodels of the era. As seen in archival runway imagery, this piece captures the glamorous essence of 1990s Chanel.

Made from luxurious black velvet, it features short sleeves and a tailored silhouette that accentuates the waist. The deep V-neckline is enhanced by intricate stitching details, adding an understated sophistication to the design.

The standout feature of this piece is its exquisite Gripoix buttons, adorned with vibrant jewel-like embellishments in red, green, and gold tones. Matching Gripoix accents also embellish the dual front pockets, elevating the design to a true work of art.
