As imaginative as it is original, the idea of a high jewellery collection inspired by tweed could only have been envisioned by Chanel. Tweed in its myriad styles has been deeply evocative of the house since the time of Gabrielle Chanel, who single-handedly uplifted this utilitarian fabric, transforming it from ordinary to extraordinary. Fashion lovers and Chanel acolytes could wax lyrical for days on the allure of a classic Chanel tweed jacket and yet would barely have brushed the surface of what is beyond any doubt one of the most iconic fashion objects of all time. Since its first appearance in Chanel’s sketchbooks in the mid-1920s, the house has crafted many and more creations from tweed, including bags, shoes, accessories and lately, high jewellery too.
Transmuting this unique textile from high fashion to high jewellery, Tweed de Chanel puts the intricate art of tweed weaving under the jeweller’s loupe. For almost 100 years, Chanel has used all kinds of materials for its tweed, such as wools, silks, cottons and even cellophane, but never before has the truly precious, such as gold, pearls, diamonds and coloured gemstones, entered its lexicon—until now. Featuring 64 creations across five different themes, the collection presents tweed in its most luxurious and artful interpretations yet, and indeed the house could not have found a more suitable and emblematic motif to realise its high jewellery ambitions.
