Throughout the eighties and early nineties, Karl Lagerfeld and Victoire de Castellane embraced the coquette allure of the chatelaine belt mimicking it's flirtaciousness in fashion and jewels. In accessories, the draped belts, brooches and necklaces were on repeat and reinvented season after season. The combination of black lambskin leather and gilt metal chain epitomizes the highest caliber of Parisian glamour from the late eighties and early nineties. The chatelaine versions are the most rare vintage CHANEL accessories of that époque. This example, in such exquisite condition, has four leather-clad medallions with gleaming CC gilt logos. The dangle is double-sided with Coco's lucky four leaf clover on the other side. The significant eleven inch long draped portion is framed with a coiled serpent chain that brings added enticement to an already captivating figure-accentuating body jewel. The black lambskin leather and gold plate are in superb condition.
