The understated yet always elegant attire of Chanel has been adored by the world’s most influential women for many years.

Jackie Kennedy was a devoted fan of Chanel, and women of the Monégasque royal family have also served as ambassadors for the brand.

Among them, the relationship between Princess Diana and Chanel was somewhat complicated.

【 Princess Diana's Story 】

Princess Diana was captivated by Chanel's beautiful and refined designs and wore her first classic red Chanel coat during a trip to France in 1988.

This is the very coat we are introducing today. It features beautiful lines, meticulous stitching, and gold buttons that shine with elegance. It is said that Diana was particularly fond of it.

However, after that, Princess Diana was seen wearing Chanel only a few times. Later, the reason for this became clear.

Australian designer Jayson Brundson shared a story in Harper’s Bazaar about when he picked out a pair of Chanel shoes for Princess Diana in 1996.

“She chose a Versace skirt, and I found a pair of Chanel shoes that would match perfectly. I suggested, 'These would look great with the Versace,' but she said, 'No, I can't wear linked Cs, the double C.' So I asked why, and she said, 'It's Camilla and Charles.'

As this story shows, Princess Diana was rarely seen wearing Chanel, and today, these Chanel pieces have become incredibly valuable.

The red coat also appears in a crucial scene in the movie Spencer, which portrays the life of Diana.

As the pieces were too valuable to be used for filming, Chanel painstakingly recreated replicas.

Costume designer Jacqueline Durran explains,
"The red coat was the first costume that really encapsulated Diana for our movie. We wanted to capture the spirit of Princess Diana’s style, but not slavishly copy
– and the red coat was our starting point."


The choice of red is a difficult one, but the shade chosen by Diana exudes royal elegance and a sense of luxury.

This red coat exudes the same grace and elegance as Princess Diana herself. It’s a truly special piece that makes you feel as though you’ve stepped into her shoes, compelling you to reach for it and make it your own.

【Patrimoine de Chanel Collection】

This coat belongs to the invaluable Patrimoine de Chanel Collection, which is an archive held by Chanel.

This collection includes couture and ready-to-wear pieces previously presented by Chanel, particularly important designs by Karl Lagerfeld and Coco Chanel.

"Patrimoine" is a French word meaning "heritage," and this collection was created to preserve and pass down the history and legacy of the Chanel brand to future generations.

These items are also used in films, photo shoots, and exhibitions.
