Information On The Chanel 3222Q | CH3222Q

Chanel was started by the famous Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel in 1909.

Coco first worked as a seamstress, but after discovering a love of hats, opened her own milliners. She soon started designing clothing, first starting with casual boating wear. This proved a huge success amongst the rich, and allowed her to open another shop. Clothing at the time was very restrictive for women, with corsets and other uncomfortable fashions being the norm. Chanel changed this by designing loose fitting clothing that allowed women movement and comfort.

During the second world war, Chanel closed down her shops and stopped creating clothing. Once the war had ended, she realised she would have to modernise the Chanel brand. It was the 1950s that saw the return of Chanel, bigger and better than ever. Bringing out pret-a-porter collections brought Chanel to a wider audience, as did the introduction of the now famous Chanel No. 5 perfume. Jewellery was also introduced, and the haute couture collection made a fabulous return.

The Chanel 3222Q / CH3222Q are one of the best selling prescription models by Chanel. The frame is curved with soft edges, though still a basic rectangular shape. Thin lambskin leather arms are held by recognisable Chanel chain detailing (similar to their famous bags). These glasses are bold and elegant, and one of the most memorable pieces in the collection. 'Dark Havana' is the number one colour choice - a dark brown shade that flatters most skin tones. Jet black closely follows, with black being a colour Chanel is often associated with. These are bolder and can give an amazingly dramatic look.

Most, if not all, available lenses can be fitted to these frames. These include single vision, varifocals and bifocals.Tints can transform these glasses into sunglasses when in contact with sunlight, Transitions are the best technology for this. The lenses come in differing thicknesses, with thinner lenses being more attractive, stronger and lighter so are more comfortable. Scratch resistant and anti-glare coatings are advised to everybody even if only reading/VDU glasses are needed. Dust and water repellence, and smudge resistance are also good options for those that wear their glasses for the most part of the day.
