You don't have to travel to Paris or New York to sample the high stylings of la mode Chanel; the legendary house of design's notable collection is available right in the heart of Beverly Hills' elite shopping district. Don't let that less-than-French address fool you, though. The entire Chanel line is available at this shopping landmark, from perfumes and cosmetics, jewelry and accessories, to the very latest in Karl Lagerfeld's fresh-off-the-runway fashions (the legendary Coco Chanel died in 1971, but Lagerfeld has kept her witty and trend-setting spirit alive in the line's classic couture). Everything from Chanel's celebrated wool boucl suits, chunky gold jewelry and signature fragrances are arrayed throughout the store's two spacious floors, as well as the most recent debuts from the haute couture and ready-to-wear lines. Of course, renowned designer labels don't come cheaply, and the price tags at Chanel are no exception, with apparel especially hitting some pretty lofty dollar signs. On the other hand, many women have stories about the Chanel suit they inherited from their grandmother that they still wear today -- a smart investment that can't easily be equaled by other contemporary designers. But if you want the prestige of the classic Chanel label without the big price points, many of the fragrances, cosmetics and accessories are affordable. Wrapped in the distinctive Chanel packaging, they make delightful and impressive gifts.
