Reinvented every year, this season it welcomes the Ready-to-Wear creations, the accessories as well as a selection of High Jewellery and Watches within a brand-new decor.

This unique setting focuses on the origins of CHANEL, just like a homecoming in iconic shades of black, white, beige and gold. The boutique opens into an entrance hall swathed in openwork panels. Playing with light and shadows, these wooden panels reveal bottles of the famous CHANEL N°5 perfume.

The verrière, a glass-roofed room, has regained its original mosaic floor and is now home to busts in the style of avant-gardist sculptures. Display units and alcoves provide showcases for the accessories and watches including the new creations J12 Mirror and BOY.Friend Steel.

In the garden, the swimming pool shimmers with light: tiled entirely with a golden mosaic, it reflects the sun with intensity, rendering the water’s surface as iridescent as a precious bath.

Just a few steps away, a beige and black garden-room invites visitors to take time out and relax.

This year the pool house is dedicated to shoes. The long curtains in white linen float on the breeze caressing the wenge wood floor and the walls where the raw concrete shelves welcome the shoe collections.
