A Chanel sunglasses find for the collector who wants tweed woven straight into the frame - the CH 5240 is a rare departure from standard acetate, and pieces like this rarely sit still on the resale market for long.

Crafted in Italy with a black tweed finish over the frame, this 55mm style shows the wear expected of a pre-owned pair in good condition. The tweed detailing gives the silhouette a textured, tactile character that reads distinctly Chanel and distinctly collectible.

WHY VINTAGE?

It Already Exists

Vintage isn’t “produced” it’s rediscovered.
Choosing vintage reduces waste, overproduction, and the environmental cost of creating something new.

Quality You Can Feel

Most vintage was made with heavier fabrics, real hardware, and craftsmanship that’s rare today.
It’s why these pieces last decades, not seasons.

Style With a Story

Vintage means no mass drops, no repeats, no algorithms deciding what you wear.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind which is why it is so special.
