From leather to gold: here the Crush Coco capsule collection by Chanel, inspired by the famous “matelassé”or quilted pattern seen in many accessories. Engraved into metal, which is the contemporary interpretation of the diamond motifs of 2.55, one of the bags most desired by women. This success was born in February 1955, hence the acronym as a name, then applied in the years to wallets, shoes and all the luxury leather goods. And now runs on cuff-bracelets and rings in white and yellow gold 18 carat. The quilted effect is obviously stylized, but the round shapes a little remember the softness of the leather of this line named Coco Crush. Something similar to the passion for the criss-cross pattern shown by Maison’s customers for over 60 years. And to think that were the stable boys horse racings jackets to suggest this pattern to Mademoiselle, who liked to say: «The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive». Here pictures and video. G. N.
