Description

New at Luxury Promise! This book Gabrielle Chanel - Fashion Manifesto is a major retrospective of the life and work of Coco Chanel.Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel is an icon of fashion, and can lay claim to having invented the look of the 20th century. At the height of the Belle Époque, she stripped women of their corsets and feathers, bobbed their hair, put them in bathing suits and sent them out to get tanned in the sun. She introduced the little black dress; trousers for women; costume jewelry; the exquisitely comfortable suit that became her trademark. Early in the Roaring Twenties, Chanel made the first ever couture perfume – No. 5 – presenting it in the famous little square-cut flagon that, inspired by Picasso and Cubism, became the arch symbol of the Art Deco style. No. 5 remains the most popular scent ever created.

Condition Guide

Ever wondered how we categorise the condition of the items we sell? We've put together this guide below, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Unworn

As the name suggests, these pieces have never been used. They have also been stored perfectly, and have no signs of wear or use. They may even come with original tags.

Excellent

While these pieces can't claim to be unworn, they certainly appear to be. These items have hardly every been used and have no signs of wear.

Very Good

With minimal use and wear, these pieces are the perfect balance of price and wear. They may have small signs of wear that are only visible up close.

Good

These items have some signs of use, perhaps slight staining, slight wear to the corners, or hardware scratches. They come at a great price.

Fair

These pieces have signs of use that will be visible – perhaps some staining or wear. They are reasonably priced because of this.

Worn

These pieces are priced very reasonably as they have obvious signs of wear. This could be staining or wear, or missing elements, such as zipper pulls. They are great for a buyer who is happy to upcycle them – having them restored, cleaning them up, or re-adding missing pieces.
