The daily lemming

Posted by on 32 Comments

I'm guessing a few of you might want one? A 27 day (December 5 to December 31) advent calendar from Chanel in biodegradable paper pulp packaging, and including a number of items (a snow globe, keychain, a tree ornament, a magnetic bookmark, a bracelet, etc) that aren't usually for sale. It's $825, and possibly sold out already but you could call your local Chanel counter.

A lemming for fans of No. 5: "To celebrate the holiday season and mark 100 years of the legendary fragrance, CHANEL presents N°5 Eau de Parfum dressed in sleek biodegradable packaging that outlines the iconic silhouette of The Classic Bottle. A truly elegant keepsake, this limited edition features a golden number 5 emblazoned on its label." $150 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Bloomingdales, where you'll also find the same set up (although in silver instead of gold) in No. 5 L'Eau.

Wary of disappearing flower crops

Wary of disappearing flower crops used in its best-selling perfumes, fashion and beauty firm Chanel has bought up more land in southern France to secure its supplies of jasmine and other varieties, harvested by hand in a delicate annual ritual.

The luxury group said it had bought up an extra 10 hectares (100,000 square metres) of land, adding to the 20 hectares it already exploits in partnership with a local family near the town of Grasse, known for its surrounding flower fields.
