Mouna Ayoub Auctions Off 252 Chanel Haute Couture Items

The auction, featuring pieces from Karl Lagerfeld's most memorable collections, aims to support women's rights and make room for new acquisitions.

Mouna Ayoub, a former waitress who married a billionaire adviser to the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, is auctioning off 252 items from her vast collection of Chanel haute couture designed by Karl Lagerfeld.
The auction, which is being held by Maurice Auction in partnership with Kerry Taylor, will begin on November 20.
Many of the pieces in the auction have never been worn and have been kept in museum-quality storage for the last 30 years.
Part of the proceeds from the sale will go to the Fondation des Femmes, an organization that raises money to fight for women's rights issues and for young victims of domestic violence in France.
Ayoub's decision to sell her collection is also to make space in her closet for new acquisitions.
