The Chanel Coco Chain eyewear collection presents four new frames for sunglasses and three for opticals, the absolute must-haves of the season. On each pair the iconic metal chain interlaced with leather and its timeless yet rock chic allure is in the spotlight.

The chain – in gold, silver or ruthenium metal – comes in single or multiple rows on the temples of the sunglasses. The pilot frame is supported by a single row of links. On the cat eye and square frames, the chain embellishes the temples in two rows, increasing to three on a XXL frame. While the pilot form is swathed in leather, the other models are encircled with acetate and a metal insert highlighting the brows. The colour palette revises the classics: blue leans to violet, petrol and navy, brown adopts nuances of tobacco or tortoiseshell while pink is barely there. The range also includes the iconic black, white, burgundy and beige tones of the House. The lenses, matching the frames, play with mirrored or gradated effects.

Three designs make up the optical line. Available in the same hues and finishes as the sunglasses, they adopt square, rectangular as well as a pantos shape revisited for a preppy attitude.

All of the frames are punctuated with the ultimate detail: a discrete double C, placed on the chain, tone-on-tone. A truly feminine signature, timeless and universally chic.

The Chanel Coco Chain eyewear collection will be available in boutiques from September 2016.
