A version of this wonderful Chanel pant and top set was featured in the ad campaign for 1996 that featured Amber Valletta. Both pieces are made of a silk that is very light and easy to wear. It has the added bonus of being made up of two pieces so can be worn together or you can mix and match with other pieces already in your wardrobe. The pants are the twin of the ones used in the ad campaign, They have a fitted hip and waist and the pant legs are cut long and lean with a straight cut that has just a touch of width to them. The top has a button down cut with neat, pointed collar and long sleeves. It is cut to be worn more loose and easy through the body and can be worn tucked in or left out. Pockets sit on each side of the bust for detailing. The pattern is fabulous with its combination of the signature Chanel camellia mixed with that classic double C logo. "Chanel" is also written across the fabric in script from top to bottom. It is wonderful. Excellent condition.
Both pieces are unlined. The pants close with a side zipper and button at the waist, The top buttons down the front and has buttons on each cuff. Tagged a vintage 34. Appears unworn
