Taking a tour of the Chanel jacket

Well you can imagine how ecstatic I was to purchase this jacket on Friday at Mrs Stings designer sale. Considering brand new boucle tweed Chanel jackets retail at around £2500 and that I purchased mine for £100, it was the bargain of the century-plus it was nice to know that proceeds of the sale are going to UNICEF, so in effect it was a high end charity purchase!!

I have never seen a Chanel jacket that close to inspect or try on, so I have been poring over it very studiously. They are made with the finest details, pure wool boucle tweed, silk lining and mother of pearl buttons.
The jacket was made in France and according to the date code on the label 97P, I believe this to be from the 1997 Spring collection. The jacket is immaculate and may not have been worn as it is in an 'as new' condition.
All Chanel jackets are weighted with a gold chain so they hang properly against your figure.

This jacket is not yet vintage, nearly there!!! I will treasure this as its most certain I would not buy one at full retail price and jackets of these nature are like gold dust to buy second hand.

Thanks to Red Carpet Fashion Awards for sharing the sale and for WendyB-without her spot we would never have gone there in the first place-it was certainly meant to be, thats for sure!!
