The power of black never fades with time.
It represents the very essence of elegance that CHANEL has embodied for decades—
This season, OLIM celebrates “Black Elegance” through a curated selection of vintage CHANEL masterpieces.
1. The Power of Black — A Monochrome That Radiates Poise
The matte caviar leather with flat quilting drawn only by stitching captures CHANEL’s understated refinement.
Unified entirely in black—from chain to hardware—it reflects inner strength and timeless allure.
Its structured silhouette and graceful presence grow richer with age, the leather deepening in character alongside its wearer.
A piece of true luxury that allows you to wear time itself.
2. Draped in Structure — The 1999 Spring/Summer Black Coat
A study in simplicity and proportion, this refined linen-blend coat embodies the CHANEL spirit of quiet sophistication.
The straight silhouette falls fluidly, embracing the body while maintaining composure and grace.
Matte Coco Mark buttons reflect light gently, leaving a subtle trace of elegance.
3. The Sheer Nuance of Black — CHANEL Sheer Panel Dress
From the 2010 Pre-Fall “Paris–Shanghai” collection, this couture-like dress balances structure and sensuality.
A luxurious blend of wool and angora shapes the body, while sheer silk sleeves bring an airy lightness.
An asymmetric neckline adorned with a blue Gripoix COCO button adds a discreet, poetic sparkle.
Architectural yet feminine, it’s a piece that captures movement and modern grace.
4. Enduring Femininity — A Play of Texture and Tone
The refined contrast of navy and beige is complemented by soft chiffon detailing.
This piece embodies feminine strength through quiet sophistication.
A versatile layer that transitions effortlessly across seasons.
(Note: this color is a deep navy, close to black.)
5. A Story in Gold and Black — 1980s Cameo Brooch
Created in the 1980s, this cameo brooch stands as an icon of CHANEL’s timeless classicism.
Depicting Coco Chanel’s profile, it pays homage to the maison’s founder.
The pairing of black and ecru resin, framed by gold-tone metal, evokes a sense of refined vintage charm.
Whether pinned to a jacket or scarf, it lends any look a touch of elegance and depth.
Conclusion
The beauty of vintage CHANEL lies in its harmony between “grace” and “conviction.”
Its presence endures through time—reflecting both elegance and the quiet strength of those who wear it.
At OLIM, we celebrate this “timeless elegance”—pieces that transcend eras while blending seamlessly into modern life.
