Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
From its debut in the 1920s to its reinvention on the runway, this timeless two-piece has come to define the effortless sophistication of the Chanel woman.
This book traces the evolution of the Chanel suit through rare archival photography, detailed design analysis, and exclusive insights into the craftsmanship at the heart of the Chanel ateliers. It explores the suit's signature elements - the boxy jacket, braided trim, silk lining, and gilt buttons - and how each has been reinterpreted across decades by designers from Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard.
Highlighting standout collections, collaborations, and couture creations, the book also celebrates the women who have worn the suit as a statement of power and poise - from Jackie Kennedy to Princess Diana, Kristen Stewart to Beyoncé. With chapters on tailoring techniques, styling tips, and the suit's lasting influence on fashion, feminism, and film, this is the ultimate homage to one of the most iconic garments in history.
