This is a beautiful set from the 2005 Cruise collection. I always think that these two piece set are extra great additions to your wardrobe since they can be worn together or you can mix and match with other pieces already in your wardrobe. Both pieces have the beautiful cut and fabrication that you expect from Chanel. The sweater top is made out of a light weight black cashmere. The sleeves and hem are then finished with a banding of the same boucle fabric that the skirt is made out of. Just above the bottom band at the hem there is also two little strips of the boucle that are fused into the cashmere to give the suggestion of the classic Chanel pocket that would sit on the front of a jacket. It is cut to be worn more loose and easy through the body and can be worn tucked in or left out. There is also a little metal double C logo on the bottom band. The skirt is made entirely of the boucle fabric and has a sleek cut with front vents built into the skirt for a little bit of flare when you walk. The boucle mixes soft ivories, camels, grey and blacks and is very beautiful. As you get closer you can see some parts have a metallic finish to them that gives it an extra bit of texture. It is wonderful. Excellent condition with one small note about the top below
The top is unlined and the skirt lined in a fine ivory silk. The tops slips on to wear and the skirt close with a hidden set zipper. Hand finishes throughout. The skirt is tagged a vintage 38 and the top a 42. The top shows some very slight wear to the fabric under the arms. Please review the last two photos after the label shot
