The pants contain a label featuring the name Paquito, hand-written in ink. Paquito Sala, an expert tailor at Chanel, worked under Pierre Balmain until the couturier’s death in 1982. Lagerfeld brought him to Chanel the following year. The German couturier and the Spanish tailor first met in 1954, when Sala worked as Balmain’s assistant. Thanks to the acumen that distinguished him, Lagerfeld immediately recognized Sala’s outstanding skill and brought him to Chanel as the head of the atelier tailleur nearly thirty years later. Lagerfeld would deliver sketches, and Sala oversaw the creation of countless haute couture creations during his tenure with the house.

Teal green wool tweed two-piece pant ensemble including a long cardigan-style jacket with clean neckline, long sleeves, side welt pockets, and front button closure; paired with matching tapered-fit pants with left side zipper closure.
