1980s Christian Aujard Paris Plum Tweed Skirt Suit

Created in the late 1980s, this beautifully preserved Christian Aujard Paris skirt suit reflects French tailoring at its finest.

Rich plum tweed meets deep burgundy velvet in a beautifully sculpted cut. The cropped jacket defines the waist while the sleek skirt elongates the silhouette, creating an exceptionally flattering and feminine figure.

Originally sold through the Georges Férel boutique in Lyon, it carries both the quality of French craftsmanship and the charm of its own journey.
Elegant,  distinctive and a wonderful heritage piece to wear and treasure for years to come — the kind of vintage that makes getting dressed feel like an occasion.

Wear it as a complete ensemble for a revival event, or bring it into the present by pairing the jacket with your favourite denim and leather sneakers.  Style the skirt simply with a silk blouse and slingback shoes for effortless Parisian chic.
