-SPECIAL- "CHANEL" 04AW Sheer bow-tie knit top

"CHANEL"
2004 AW Sheer bow-tie long-sleeve knit top

As a luxury maison that represents France, CHANEL continues to offer timeless elegance. We would like to present a standout piece where a beautiful contrast of different materials takes center stage.

Paired with an impeccably tailored black knit is a long bow tie with a soft, sheer feel, adding a glamorous sense of dimensionality to this piece’s minimal, refined presence.

The bodice is made with finely textured knit fabric featuring a calm, understated look, tailored into a clean silhouette that naturally follows the lines of the body. The bow tie extending from the deep V-neckline has delicate, crepe-like subtle textures along with a soft, sheer quality. Even while unified in black, the contrast between the knit and the sheer material creates an expressive depth.

Designed with a long bow tie, it can be tied prominently at the neckline to create a dressy volume. When tied more loosely and allowed to fall, the silhouette shifts to a sharper impression that emphasizes vertical lines. You can adjust the silhouette according to your outfit and mood. Without adding layers of decoration, the expression is completed through the way it is tied and the wearer’s gestures—an especially polished balance that feels distinctly CHANEL.

The 04A noted on the product tag is a season code indicating the Fall/Winter 2004 collection. It aligns with the tag specifications, including the item number and the Made in Italy indication, clearly positioning this piece as part of the 2004 Fall/Winter archive from the period when Karl Lagerfeld led the maison.

The stated size is 38. Based on an elegant knit that is easy to incorporate into everyday wardrobes, the sheer bow tie that extends around the face area lends a distinctive character that leaves a lasting first impression. It is a finish that reflects Lagerfeld-era aesthetics—allowing a classic feminine image and a modern sensibility to coexist through the contrast of materials and a concise, streamlined composition.

This is a piece we would especially recommend for those who prefer to enjoy luxury not through flashy extravagance, but through the beauty of the material’s character and the silhouette itself. It is also charming in that, even without layering jewelry, the bow tie alone can add poise and glamour to the area around the face.

When paired with wide slacks and worn with the bow tie falling long, it becomes a refined mode style that highlights vertical lines. Combine it with a fitted skirt or a long skirt, and tie it prominently at the neckline to achieve a classic, elegant presence. Layering so the tie peeks out from inside a jacket is equally beautiful, allowing you to enjoy it for everything from formal occasions to everyday styling.

This is a CHANEL piece that combines the background of the 2004 Fall/Winter archive with a level of finish that naturally complements contemporary wardrobes.

We invite you to seize this opportunity.
