Designs from 1995–2023 went under the hammer, including pieces created by Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard. Among the biggest sensations was a black wool jacket from the Chanel Cruise 2005 collection, adorned with the fashion house’s signature monogram. Its final price reached 6,400 euros, far exceeding experts’ estimates.
The offer also included coats, dresses, sweaters, handbags, watches, and jewelry — all sold. The high attendance at the pre-auction exhibition only confirmed that archival designs from luxury fashion houses are now becoming a fully-fledged investment.
