June Rare Finds

This June, our Rare Finds brings together a selection of runway treasures from Chanel, Prada, and Valentino Garavani, pieces that capture the lasting power of archival design. From Chanel’s iconic denim and tweed silhouettes to Prada’s graphic prints, sculptural skirts, and statement accessories, each find carries a moment from fashion history into the modern wardrobe.

The Chanel cashmere knitted jacket from the Pre-Fall 2013 Paris-Edinburgh Métiers d’Art Collection captures the Maison’s timeless approach to heritage dressing. Designed in a rich tartan pattern with braided trims, the jacket brings together Scottish-inspired codes and classic Chanel craftsmanship. Its soft cashmere texture, structured silhouette, and detailed finishing make it a refined yet characterful outerwear piece.

From Chanel’s Spring Summer 2008 Collection, this dark blue denim short-sleeve zipped shirt reflects the house’s playful take on casual luxury. The fitted shape, structured collar, epaulette-style shoulders, and front zip give the piece a sporty yet polished feel. Seen on the runway styled with beach-inspired accessories, it brings a nostalgic 2000s Chanel energy that still feels fresh today.

This Prada shoulder bag brings a quiet but distinctive statement. Crafted in green full-grain leather, its clean tote-like shape is elevated by the subtle triangular Prada logo detail and textured finish. The generous silhouette makes it practical, while the rich green tone gives it a collectible runway feel.

A true archival accessory, this Prada felted wool hat turns a simple beret-like shape into a bold design object. The grey wool base is punctuated with gold-tone metal grommets, creating a contrast between softness and industrial hardware. It is the kind of piece that instantly adds runway personality to even the simplest outfit.

From Prada’s Fall Winter 2005 Collection, this black silk pleated balloon skirt is a beautiful example of the brand’s ability to balance romance with structure. The floral print adds softness, while the sculptural balloon silhouette creates volume and movement. Finished with Chinese frog closure detailing, the skirt feels rich in texture, reference, and character.

This Chanel midi dress from the Spring Summer 2016 Collection brings together sporty structure and feminine detail. The vivid blue and white floral jacquard pattern gives the piece a graphic summer feel, while the pleated flared skirt adds volume and elegance. With its front zip and fitted bodice, it is a standout Chanel piece that feels both playful and polished.

Prada’s Fall Winter 2006 Collection is remembered for its offbeat elegance, and this charcoal dress with khaki bubble skirt reflects that perfectly. The contrast between the dark structured bodice and voluminous khaki skirt creates a silhouette that feels experimental yet wearable. Embellished details at the waist add a decorative finish, making it a distinctive archival Prada piece.

From Valentino Garavani’s Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection, this cream wool-blend tweed set captures a fresh interpretation of ladylike dressing. The clean jacket silhouette is softened by bow details and black trim, while the matching mini skirt is finished with dramatic ruffled taffeta panels. Elegant, graphic, and modern, it is a recent runway piece with instant collectible appeal.
