The Chanel Haute Joaillerie Sport Collection bridges the gap between high fashion and athletic grace, embodying the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel herself. Renowned for her passion for outdoor activities—be it horseback riding, skiing, or dancing—Chanel understood the importance of body awareness and freedom of movement. In fact, her adventurous lifestyle inspired the creation of a dedicated “Sport” atelier as early as 1921 within her Haute Couture house.


In a testament to this legacy, Patrice Leguéreau, Director of the Chanel Jewelry Creation Studio, remarks, “For creating the ‘Haute Joaillerie Sport’ collection, I was inspired by Chanel’s sporty style, which is such an integral part of the house’s history: the elegance of the line and the freedom of movement.”


The collection masterfully intertwines elegance with performance, offering pieces that celebrate a dynamic lifestyle. Through innovative aesthetics, meticulous technique, and a carefully curated selection of gemstones, it highlights the allure of women in motion. This groundbreaking collection represents not just jewelry, but a celebration of the active, spirited femininity that Chanel championed.


As the lines between luxury and activity continue to blur, the Chanel Haute Joaillerie Sport Collection stands out as a pioneering tribute to the essence of movement and grace, inviting a new generation to embrace the magnificence of sport infused with haute couture.
