Les Blés de Chanel: Celebrating the iconic symbol of Coco Chanel
updated the Monday, July 11, 2016
In the latest collection, we travel back to the fundamental element that made up Gabrielle Chanel’s childhood.
Step into a world of abundant harvest – the world of Gabrielle Chanel. Since the day she was born, a day that coincides with the harvest festival, wheat has been a significant emblem to her. For most of her childhood, Chanel learnt from her father that wheat symbolised regeneration, abundance, luck, prosperity and endless creativity, which was how the wheat icon became a fundamental aspect of her life. Whether in wood, bronze or its natural form, this symbol made up a generous portion of the interior design in Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment at 31 Rue Cambon, Paris.
Today, we celebrate what truly inspired Chanel to have come so far – the “good wheat” that Gabrielle Chanel’s father never failed to mention throughout her life. The high jewellery collection “Les Blés de Chanel” introduces 62 pieces of jewellery that tells the story of the life cycle of wheat, perfectly complementing the warmth of the summer sun and the abundant wheat harvest that follows. Dive into the world of Gabrielle Chanel with these beautiful designs that will certainly enthrall the senses as they sparkle in the sun.
Discover “Les Blés de Chanel” at the Chanel Fine Jewellery Boutique (391 Orchard Road, #01-04 Ngee Ann City) today.
