In celebration of the spirit of Venice, Chanel presents its latest high jewellery collection, Escale à Venise
In 1919, Mademoiselle Gabrielle Chanel fled to Venice, grieving the loss of the great love of her life, Boy Capel. Among the beauty of the Floating City and under the watchful gaze of the Lion of Venice, she found comfort, strength and unexpectedly, one of the great sources of inspirations that followed her throughout her life and career.
A tribute and contemporary interpretation of Mademoiselle’s discovery of the romantic city, Patrice Leguéreau, director of the Jewellery Creation Studio, presents the Escale à Venise collection. In celebration of the architecture, culture and spirit of Venice, this collection of 70 exceptional pieces is a mastery of sculpted designs and extraordinary stones, from lapis lazuli to sapphires and diamonds.
