A Visit to Coco's House

IMG_2824

I still have loads of photos from Paris and I'm bringing them out here and there. These are from my visit to the original Chanel boutique on Rue Cambon (just before eating the macarons). They were promoting their sunglasses, in case that wasn't obvious. Lunettes. I love the one with the kid flying by on his skateboard. Nice juxtoposition with the valet/greeter/security/polite intimidator.

Oh Chanel, how I love you. Only one more month till I go to Paris myself. I can't wait to window shop...

PS love the Chanel guitar. That's awesome!

I love the Chanel guitar too. I have to say... I own a few items from Chanel, including the classic 2.55 bag. I don't think I'll be buying any more Chanel any time soon, but it was nice visiting the iconic shops with friends and pretending we were visiting Coco in her atelier... Very bourgeois Paris indeed.

I know I'm a provincial and all but I am not sure about those body suits. What would Coco say... My favorite Coco quotation ends with, "at 50, a woman has the face she deserves." I am a bit worried about this. Thanks for sharing your photos in any case.

Reanna - have a lovely time!

D - I wonder if that guitar is actually tuned or it's just meant to hang accessories on? Nice bag, by the way.

Kim - ha! We should all be worried! Maybe Coco would be proud that clothing on the bottom half had been done away with altogether? Hmmm....maybe not.
