John Galliano Era Christian Dior Woven Mink Jacket | Paris Boutique Archive 2005

Vintage, circa 2005, John Galliano for Christian Dior. A rare, garnet rouge woven mink jacket originally purchased at the Dior flagship boutique in Paris. Produced in limited numbers with an original retail of $6,500. Architectural in silhouette, featuring a dramatic shawl collar, sculpted shoulder line, and defined waist — hallmarks of Galliano’s directional femininity at Dior. The unlined woven mink construction creates dimensional texture with fluid structure and surprising lightness. The front closes discreetly with an interior hidden button and double hook-and-eye closures positioned below the bust, maintaining a clean, uninterrupted line through the body. A collector-level Dior archive piece that remains strikingly modern. ———— Condition: Good vintage condition.
