Chanel pays tribute to fine crafts with a collector's collection

Chanel presented the parade of crafts in its new building dedicated to the workshops of famous embroiderers, plumassiers and other shoemakers.


From rue Cambon to Porte d'Aubervilliers, it's just a step away that clients and celebrities have taken in two-tone pumps on Tuesday, December 7. Admittedly, the place Skanderbeg, above the ring road, does not have the charm of the Saint-Honoré district, but the architecture of Rudy Ricciotti straddling the 19th arrondissement and the town of Aubervilliers gives panache to Greater Paris. Since March 2021, the building with the exoskeleton made of concrete filaments has housed, over 26,000 m2, 600 craftsmen and employees from eleven workshops (Lesage, Montex, Lemarié, Massaro, Maison Michel, etc.) in the bosom of the Chanel group. Yesterday, he welcomed the 700 guests of the show (in two sessions) of the 2021-22 Chanel Métiers d'art to whom we explained the meaning of "Le19M": "

19 for the district and the day of birth of Gabrielle Chanel;

M for hand, profession and fashion.
