Chanel has launched a capsule jewellery collection exclusively for the Middle East, and it’s as extravagant and dazzling as you’d expect.
Despite Coco Chanel’s first love being costume jewellery – describing it as “refreshingly free of arrogance” – she launched her very first fine jewellery collection in 1932.
Because that all changed for Chanel during the Great Depression as she lent a helping hand to the struggling diamond industry. Her explanation being that there was a strive for “authenticity” during the turbulent time.
And now, 87 years on, it seems as though the love affair became an everlasting romance between the French fashion house and the realm of fine jewellery. And the latest expression of that love comes in the form of Chanel’s Secrets D’Orients collection.
The capsule collection has been designed especially for the Middle East and is launching in the region from May 1st, 2019. It marries together pearls and diamonds with gold and silver and doesn’t shy away from being the centre of attention.
Take a sneak peek and some of the collection above.
