When you closely observe Chanel items,
you may notice specific letters on the engravings and labels.
Did you know that these letters can indicate
which collection the item belongs to?
In this spotlight,
we focus on collection codes that instantly reveal the season
in which the item was produced!
“What can you learn from season codes?”
The actual release names and seasons can vary from year to year.
Depending on the specific year or collection,
there may be additional lines or series.
The five commonly used season codes are “C, P, S, A, and B.”
In addition,
specific lines or series use the codes “K, V, and REV.”
“Let’s take a closer look
