-SPECIAL- “CELINE” 80’s-90’s velvet frilled chain setup

There is some wear.

From CELINE, founded in Paris in 1945, a house that has built a style imbued with intelligence and refinement in refined everyday wear, we are pleased to present a highly accomplished velvet ensemble that vividly reflects the aesthetic of founder Céline Vipiana.

This piece lavishly uses deep black velvet, and the jacket features vertical stitchwork that quietly runs, giving the luxurious material depth with a constructed shadow.

The jacket is designed with a slightly shorter length, and the softly rounded front closure line sits along the body's contours, while satin frills on the collar, front, hem, and cuffs add gentle movement and a classical flourish to the all-black look.

In particular, the bow at the neck and the frilled collar function not only as decorative sweetness but also to draw the gaze to the face; the smooth lustre of satin against the velvet's weight creates a beautiful coexistence of formal strength and feminine nuance.

The interior features a jacquard lining woven with CELINE's logo and the C motif, and the detailing extends to the moments when you peek at it when putting the garment on or taking it off; the deep shadows of the velvet and the understated gloss of the lining respond to each other, elevating not only the outward display of glamour but also the garment's overall craftsmanship.

The matching skirt is a long silhouette in the same black velvet, with a clean line that falls naturally from the waist to the hem, supporting the jacket's decorative aspects; the gold-tone chain and macadam-pattern motif at the waist serve a jewelry-like role.

These chain elements are not mere decoration; they embody the equestrian-grade dignity that CELINE has excelled in, and translate the accessory sensibility associated with Parisian upper-class daily wear into the garment, with the gleam of metal creating a single point of tension against the velvet's quiet black.

In terms of era, the white-on-dark CELINE PARIS woven name at the neck and waist, the vertical MADE IN FRANCE and MARQUE DEPOSÉE inscriptions, and the listing of JC Co., Ltd. as the importer confirm that this is a French-made vintage from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.

In particular, the presence of the distributor label before the mid-1990s domestic distribution shift and the use of the old JIS washing labels are important elements that support this time frame, and unlike contemporary revival Triomphe or macadam-pattern designs, this original vintage exudes the atmosphere of the era.

The combination of black velvet, satin frills, bow, and gold chain can read as overly decorative if misapplied, but here the set is unified in black, providing elegance within glamour and making it suitable not only for parties but also for everyday outfits that quietly highlight one's individuality.

For those who value a classic mood yet seek more than sweetness, and who want to naturally incorporate the Parisian elegance of vintage CELINE into a contemporary wardrobe, this comes especially recommended; the value is high not only when worn as a set but also when the jacket and skirt are worn separately.

Styling-wise, wearing the set with minimal innerwear lets the velvet and satin textures take the lead for an elegant look; worn with the jacket alone, pairing with draped trousers or a long skirt preserves CELINE's refined tension while conveying a genderless, modern impression. The skirt, paired with a simple blouse and a crisp jacket, lets the waist chain function as subtle jewelry and adds the depth of vintage luxury to the overall look.

Please take this opportunity.
