This two piece skirt suit set by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel is cut in a chic silhouette and is from the fall 1984 ready to wear collection. The jacket has a rounded edge collar and sloped seam detail to each shoulder, as well as light padding on either side to create that classic 80s structured feel. It fastens down the front with five black buttons concealed by a placket, and is finished with classic gold interlocking 'C' cartouche buttons at the collar, on both sides of the front opening, and on each pocket. The cuffs have a banded detail and are once again finished with the same gold Chanel button detail. The jacket is lined with soft black silk, and its exterior, like the skirt, is made up of a very fine wool fabric. The pencil skirt has a fitted waistband, crossover seam details and two functional front pockets. It has a rear zip with hook and eye closure at the top, as well as two vertical front seams - the left of which opens to a split up to around mid thigh, for added freedom of moment. This set, with its craftsmanship and classic approach to tailoring, would make an excellent addition to any Chanel collector's, or vintage enthusiast's, wardrobe.

The set is in immaculate vintage condition with no faults or signs of wear and tear. Labelled a French 40, due to the nature of the small waistband on the skirt we feel it would best fit a UK 8 - small 10, or 4 US to a small size 6 US although the jacket would fit up to a UK 12 or US 8.
