lt was in the windswept hills of the Scottish Highlands, where she traveled during a tryst with the Duke of Westminster, that Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel first became enamored of tweed. The mottled textile, comforting yet elegant, would go on to become the calling card of her eponymous maison. This season, Director of Chanel's Fine Jewelry Creative Studio Patrice Leguéreau translates the ethos of the fabric into Chanel's latest High Jewelry collection. Check out exclusive images of the line by photographer Sam Hellmann below.
