Chanel Opens Las Vegas Store With Handbags and Diamond Jewelry

Posted on: Jan 21

You just can't keep a good brand down. It might have sacked staff and cut short its mobile art exhibition tour, but Chanel is forging on ahead despite the economic crisis. As if to prove a point, the French fashion house has just opened a third Las Vegas boutique.

The store, located at the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas resort, is a lavish affair. It spans 2,400 square feet and carries handbags, ready-to-wear apparel and fine jewelry. The design mimics Coco Chanel's Parisian apartment with its woven gold metal finish and beige and gold interior. Luxurious touches include a fine jewelery boutique salon, a library, and a VIP room.

Girls with expensive tastes will love the one-of-a-kind diamond pieces currently displayed to celebrate the boutique's opening. I'm currently coveting the Pluie de Diamant necklace with its 10-carat, pear-shaped diamond centerpiece. You might not be able to afford it, but it's definitely worth a peek. Just make sure not to leave any drool on the Chanel countertops!
