A collection features many ornithological masterpieces such as rings carved in bronze with silver and gold mimicking the claws of parrots or the tiny legs of a humming bird clinging around ones finger. Necklaces in the shape of wings resemble the fossilized feathers of Condor or better yet some unknown species from the late Jurassic era.

Along with the designer’s favored bestiary and vanities themes of inspiration, the collection offers a brand new cuffs accessory line. Tarantulas carved in bronze and silver, elektro skulls with flashy green, purple and metal grey or carved in ebony wood.  

It’s the independent, fascinating and mysterious persona of Coco Chanel which comes alive in the new perfume Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel.

Sealed with sensuality, the Chanel perfume is rooted in the tradition of fine perfumery. The quintessence and beautiful expression of a fragrance this sophisticated composition is created by master perfumer Jacques Polge using the rarest and most precious natural raw materials.

This rich and fresh fragrance is comprised of Iris from Florence, along with two exclusive ingredients that are the very signature of Chanel perfumes, may rose absolute and jasmine absolut.

A faceted glass bottle, cut like a diamond, its discreet 15 ml format arousing the desire to keep it for oneself, to hold it close to one’s skin. A stopper with a baudruche seals the secret of the fragrance.
