Vintage 1960s Wool Knit Suit - Ch@nel-esque Rich Lady Sheath Dress + Boxy Jacket Set Size M - L

♛Details

Mid-1960s designer does Ch@nel dupe! Heavy tweedy wool flame-stitched sheath dress & jacket help you unlock rich lady vibes and modernize that ish. Cute chain + button closure at the neck of jacket, too. Wear together or apart!

See 1965 newspaper article showing a similar suit by this label -- they absolutely were trying to capture the French designer look for a more affordable price (retailed at $85, which is about  $851.33 in 2025 dollars!).

Great vintage shape. 55+ years old.

One of the decorative gold buttons on a pocket is missing its black enamel piece. You could use a steady hand and some black enamel paint (or nail polish!) to touch it up, or replace the four little buttons, or just ignore this minor imperfection.
