I just picked this up at a thrift store this weekend and I know nothing about designer clothes. I was hoping someone here would be able to point me in the right direction to find out more about this piece. The collection looks to be 94 C and style appears to be RO 2551. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. ~Josh
Well - I'm not exactly an expert on designer anything -- but my guess is that the "collection" is the year this was manufactured for -- 1994. It looks like a nice, solid, classic Chanel jacket. Just the sort of thing one expects from Chanel. Do the buttons have Chanel logos? If I recall, that can often be a desirable point and definately worth mentioning. But -- hopefully someone else with a little more knowledge in this department will be along to guide you further. Good luck!
Yeah 1994 was my best guess with the number too. There are 15 buttons total with a gold Chanel logo. 3 on each cuff, 1 on each of the 4 front pockets, and 5 down the front. It appears not to have any missing. Thank you
This will do very well. I couldn't believe Last Call Neiman Marcus would not give me a further discount on a Chanel jacket that was missing buttons-on the front pockets fro crying out loud! The fact that this is a classic looking jacket, with all its buttons should get you a nice sum.
"C" means Cruise. Look at underside of buttons to see if they have Chanel trademark. If so, list it. Claire
I want to live where you do!!!!! No chanel at my thrift shops! Sarah Rice and Beans Vintage www.riceandbeansvintage.com
