Jackie Kennedy was a devoted Chanel fan, and women from the Monaco royal family have also served as Chanel ambassadors. Among them, the relationship between Princess Diana and Chanel was uniquely complex. **Princess Diana’s Story** Captivated by Chanel’s beautifully sophisticated designs, Princess Diana first wore a classic red Chanel coat during a trip to France in 1988. This is the Chanel piece being presented today. Featuring beautiful lines, meticulous stitching, and elegantly shining gold buttons, it is said that it was a favorite of Princess Diana’s. However, Princess Diana was seen in Chanel attire only a few times afterward, a story that would later be revealed. Australian designer Jason Brandson recounted in Harper’s Bazaar the moment he chose shoes for Princess Diana in 1996 featuring Chanel. "She chose a Versace skirt, and I found the perfect Chanel shoes for it, suggesting, 'These will go perfectly with the Versace.' But she replied, 'I can’t wear link C (double C) anymore.' When I asked why, she sadly responded, 'Because of Camilla (Camilla) and Charles (Charles)." As seen in this episode, Princess Diana was rarely captured in Chanel, and today those Chanel pieces have become exceedingly rare. In the film "Spencer," which portrays Diana’s life, this red coat appears in a critical scene. Due to its rarity, Chanel painstakingly recreated a replica for filming. Costume designer Jacqueline Durran states: "The red coat best expresses Diana’s essence in the movie. Our aim was to capture the spirit of her style, not merely to mimic it, but to reflect her essence, starting with the red coat." Choosing a shade of red can be challenging, yet the color that Diana selected is a royal and elegant red, radiating sophistication. This red coat embodies the grace and elegance of Princess Diana herself, making it a special item that feels essential to those who wish to hold it. **Patrimoine de Chanel Collection** This coat belongs to the exclusive "Patrimoine de Chanel Collection," comprising Chanel’s valuable archives. This collection includes past haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces featuring pivotal designs by Karl Lagerfeld and Coco Chanel. "Patrimoine" means "heritage" in French, created to preserve the history and legacy of the Chanel brand for future generations. These items may also be used in films, photographic shoots, and exhibitions. - Made in France - Red - Double-breasted - 4 pockets - CC logo gold buttons - Shoulder pads - 100% Wool; silk lining with CC mark pattern **Size** (Note: refer to actual measurements instead of the tagged size) Tag F38 (fits sizes 38-40): B96 W86 (slightly high-waisted) H97 Shoulders 41 Sleeves 60 Length 115 **Overall Condition** In excellent condition, no defects **Outer fabric & lining** Stains, pulls, discoloration, holes → None CC buttons → No looseness or loss Even for vintage items, there are no odors from tobacco or mold, so rest assured. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ For more photographs, please refer to our main store website, as there is a limit to the number of pictures here. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ 88aRedDoubleJk **Notes** (1) The "category size" on this platform does not strictly correspond with Chanel sizing, so please verify the actual measurements.
