Treasured Legacies: Le Patrimoine de CHANEL Collection

The No. 18 townhouse at Place Vendôme has long been one of the landmarks of CHANEL’s legendary heritage in Paris. Today, it houses a trove of treasures to be discovered at the Patrimoine de CHANEL collection.

Over the years, CHANEL has generously contributed historic pieces from its collections to exhibitions across the globe. The Patrimoine collection at Place Vendôme embodies this philosophy, showcasing the character and savoir-faire of the brand’s unique jewellery creations from 1932 to the present.

In 1997, CHANEL acquired the famed 19th-century high society townhouse and converted it into jewellery and watchmaking studios and ateliers. Recently, an extensive renovation by architect Peter Marino transformed the house into a three-story boutique, lending a sleek contemporary edge to the historical building.
