The brand\u2019s aficionados from around the world rejoiced in learning of the existence of these accessories dedicated to beach sports. Available as a set, each one of these two beach rackets is made of carbon. Their aesthetics are sleek. The black & white color code distinguishes itself from the exotic neon colors associated with the seaside. An opulent logo adorns the racket head: these racket\u2019s are begging to be noticed! And yet they\u2019re not your typical accessory. The handles may be lacquered – a reference to the Coromandel lacquer at the rue Cambon store location? – but the grip is no less excellent. Far from being stage props, these rackets boast amazing technical performance: the rugged redressing of the face of each racket assures for an excellent response during any exchange. Matched with the rackets: a delicious ball, labeled, pure white. A quilted black case echoing the leather of the iconic 2.25 completes the range. All of Chanel\u2019s codes are brought together here!<\/p>\n
Chanel = beach = Deauville, the equation is easy enough. 100 years earlier, in the summer of 1913, Gabrielle Chanel accompanied her Boy to Deauville. The casino and the H\u00f4tel Normandy had just been inaugurated. Very fashionable, the seaside resort was also an internationally renowned equestrian destination. To woo the posh clientele, Boy gave Coco, already known by then, the idea to open a boutique on rue Gautaut-Biron. Adrienne, her aunt, and Atoinette, her sister, would give Chanel a hand in making and selling the accessories and hats that would soon fill the store. Gabrielle didn\u2019t stop there and took advantage of the situation to offer what she had already been wearing for years: practical, simple, and light clothes that allowed for easy movement. \u201c1914 was still 1900, and 1900 was still the Second Empire,\u201d Chanel rightfully grieved. People went to the beach as if they were going into town, dressed up from head to toe. Chanel brought relaxation and fresh air into fashion. With her family, she would play the part of a model and strut up and down the beaches of Deauville, changing several times per day into a tunic, pullover, or nautical sweater. She got heads turning. The elegant, hindered by colorful or Asian-inspired dresses by Poiret would soon be wanting a closer look of the author of this new silhouette. And success was soon to follow… The experience repeated itself in 1914. Paul Poiret ironized, calling Chanel\u2019s creations \u201cpoverty for a billionaire\u201d. In that sense, the purity of this beach set\u2019s design perfectly illustrates the \u201cpoor style\u201d that is characteristic of Chanel. The two-toned contrasting color scheme gives character to the array. These rackets definitely take after the double-C brand\u2019s founder what with her prickly disposition!<\/p>\n
No one would call this beach set ostentatious, rather, it has an affirmed character. After all, such a renowned brand shouldn\u2019t have to hide itself from the sun while everyone else is stripping down!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
