vintageheritage Monsieur Didier Ludot had the same suit on display in his world-famous Palais Royal boutique. The same suit was donated by Queen Paola to the MOMU museum and can be seen in "The Chanel Legend" exhibition. It’s also featured in "Chanel: The Impossible Collection" book. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet this museum-worthy piece of French heritage.

vintageheritage The suit is beige with linen tweed, and it has a light shimmering visual effect, raspberry red and navy-blue braided trims, signature gold lion buttons (symbolizing Mademoiselle's Zodiac sign Leo), four pockets, elegant bracelet-length sleeves, high waist pleated midi skirt. It’s in great condition for its age.
