Chanel Sunglasses

Matelasse (Quilted Designs)	Classic and Identifiable At the end of the 1920s Gabrielle Chanel was inspired by the quilted pattern of the horse blankets and used it to decorate her cushions in her Rue Cambon apartment. She then applied this code to the famous 2.55 handbag which remains an emblem of the brand today.
Camelia (Rose Designs)	Pure, Feminine and Romantic The Camellia or thornless rose has been endowed with magic powers throughout the ages. It is thought to arouse the senses with intense emotion and love. Mademoiselle Chanel launched the Camelli design in 1932 the same year as her famous and unique jewellery collection Bijoux de Diamants.
Perle (Pearl Designs)	Precious and Elegant Mademoiselle Chanel adored pearls round or baroque worn on a Byzantine cross or on a shoe strap. White pearls incarnate the very style of Chanel.
CC (Coco Chanel Designs)	Emblematic and Glamorous The interlaced double CC brings Gabrielle Chanel’s nickname to mind, ‘Coco’ Chanel that dates from 1905.
Chanel (Chanel Designs)	Discreet and Varied An emblematic sign of Chanel
Chaine (Chain Designs)	Innovative and Refined A subtle idea from Mademoiselle Chanel who hemmed the bottom of her jackets with a thin chain to ensure the perfect drape and line. Subsequently to avoid losing her handbags she attached chains and wore them over the shoulder.
