From the Fall 2017 Métiers d’Art collection, this long Chanel coat is rendered in black sparkle tweed with a subtle metallic sheen woven throughout. The silhouette is streamlined with a collarless round neckline and tonal concealed closure, letting the fabric’s texture take center stage. Four symmetrical flap pockets bring a utilitarian edge to the elongated cut, while a silk interior lining nods to the maison’s commitment to craftsmanship.

A longtime lover of Chanel, Lorraine Schwartz considers pieces like this the fashion equivalent of fine jewelry—timeless, collectible, and immune to trend cycles. Collecting Chanel since she was 20 years old, she views classic designs like this coat as enduring staples that elevate any wardrobe, no matter the era.
