Christian Lacroix Prêt-à-Porter Violet Wool Architectural Coat
Description
A striking vintage Christian Lacroix Prêt-à-Porter coat in a vibrant, saturated violet-purple hue, crafted in Italy from 100% wool.
Featuring an architectural silhouette with a dramatic sculptural standing collar, asymmetric overlapping front, and relaxed, voluminous sleeves. The softly structured body falls into a straight, oversized silhouette, while distinctive curved seam detailing and carefully placed pocket accents add visual interest.
