\n\tCRUISING WITH CHANEL<\/a>: Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr\u2019s<\/a> sale of Chanel clothing and accessories from a single owner netted twice the pre-sale estimate in a Paris<\/a> auction that lasted eight hours.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 367-lot sale, \u201cChanel<\/a>: A Private Collection,\u201d made a total of 609,574 euros, with 100 percent sold by lot and by value. The top-selling item at the Feb. 19 event was a jacket by Karl Lagerfeld<\/a> from the Cruise 2005 collection.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe long black wool jacket with a gold CC patch was identical to the one worn by actress Anne Hathaway<\/a> in the role of Andrea Sachs in the film \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada.\u201d It sold for 6,400 euros, or eight times the pre-sale estimate of between 800 and 1,000 euros.<\/p>\n

\n\tHubert Felbacq, director of the fashion and accessories department at Bonhams<\/a> Cornette de Saint Cyr in Paris<\/a>, described the collection as \u201cthe ultimate Parisian wardrobe, offering an intimate glimpse into one woman\u2019s meticulously organized dressing room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are honored to have helped this remarkable wardrobe begin its next chapter, with the hope that each piece will be worn, cherished, and reinterpreted by a new generation of Chanel aficionados,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
