Chanel Sunglasses

Vintage Chanel sunglasses add a sophisticated sensibility to any ensemble.

Whether you’re after classic aviators, such as the brand’s popular Pilot sunglasses or seeking to perfect your “mysterious Old Hollywood icon” look — easily attainable with Chanel’s rimless Butterfly sunglasses, embellished with faux pearls — the legendary high fashion house’s eyewear offerings are versatile and tasteful.

Although Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883–1971) garnered the admiration of French fashion enthusiasts near and far solely for her elegant Chanel Modes hats when she opened her first shop on rue Cambon in Paris, her wares would soon encompass jackets, evening dresses and more — a gradually evolving collection of garments and accessories that today includes a variety of sleek sunglasses.

When you are shopping for a pair of Chanel sunglasses, look closely: Authentic Chanel sunglasses, like the brand's iconic handbags, are distinguishable from fakes in their superior craftsmanship and quality.

Today, real Chanel sunglasses are packaged in a branded retail box and the house’s name is usually etched into at least one of the lenses — be it cat eye, oval, Chanel square sunglasses or another shape. The text etched into the lens is clear but understated.

Additionally, Chanel sunglasses have been made in Italy for decades. A licensing agreement was renewed in 2020 with the Milan-based firm Luxottica, with which Chanel first partnered in 1999. Many vintage pairs are branded with “Made in Italy” on the interior of one of the arms of the frames.

Questions About Chanel Sunglasses

How do I store Chanel Boy bags?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
Chanel recommends storing your boy bags by wrapping the chains or straps in tissue paper and storing them upright in the original pouch. Other sources suggest stuffing the bag with acid-free tissue paper to support its shape and make sure the chain or strap is well-padded so it doesn’t imprint the bag.

Who is Coco Chanel?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertJanuary 4, 2022
Coco Chanel, born Gabrielle Chanel in France in 1883, was a fashion designer who got her nickname during her short-lived career as a cabaret singer. In 1910, she opened a boutique in Paris to sell her hats, which were beloved by the popular French actresses of the era. Her success with hats led her to open the first Chanel Couture House five years later, where she designed and sold women’s sportswear made of jersey — which until then was used to make men’s underwear. Her revolutionary style catapulted her to fame, and in the decades that followed, Coco Chanel remained on the cutting edge of fashion, creating modern, timeless clothing, perfumes and accessories — and, of course, her iconic bags, which are revered to this day.
