Condition
Excellent vintage condition — no flaws noted.

Provenance Note
The label reads Jeanne Lanvin Paris and Maria Carine.

• Maria Carine was owned by Maria Moutet-Chenu, who worked closely with major couturiers (Heim, Desses, LaRoche, Lanvin).

• After couture showings, designers provided sketches; Moutet-Chenu created approved toiles.

• Each ready-to-wear garment was cut individually by hand in her Paris workrooms using the same fabrics as couture pieces.

• Seamstresses, many working from home, sewed garments to exacting standards.
  This represents the highest tier of couture-level ready-to-wear, bridging authentic Parisian couture with exclusive distribution.
