Okay, so I’ve been obsessed with vintage Chanel lately, and specifically, I’ve been hunting for something special from the iconic 42 Avenue Montaigne address. This wasn’t just a random whim – I really wanted a piece of history, you know?
The Hunt Begins
I started by, well, scouring the internet. I spent hours browsing through pictures, reading blog posts. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was looking for, just that it had to be from that specific boutique and have that vintage vibe.
I then widened my search. I contacted a friend who works with some fashion stylists. I figured they might have some leads or know of private sellers. My friend has tried, I know, but didn’t quite find it.
The Letdown (and a Glimmer of Hope)
Honestly, this whole process was a bit of a rollercoaster. There were moments I thought I’d found “the one,” only to realize it wasn’t quite right – maybe the condition wasn’t great, or the provenance was questionable, and most of the time, it wasn’t truly from 42 Avenue Montaigne.
It turned out harder than I initially thought to find the specific one. But I will keep on looking!
