Chanel (Paris) has opened a new 5160-square-foot boutique in Shanghai, in the newly opened The Peninsula hotel.

The store was inspired by the Paris apartment of Mademoiselle Chanel and features a residential vibe through hand-picked art, antiques and other objects, including a commissioned original artwork by French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel.

Adding to the store’s exclusive appeal, designer Karl Lagerfeld has created a line of products to be sold only at the Shanghai location, including a classic quilted flap handbag with an inside signature "Shanghai Karl Lagerfeld", sling-back heels with a metallic CC logo, a tweed jacket and skirt with gold trim.
