I often use the Chanel No. 5 Box as my design brief to web designers. It is completely white, except for a black border, and the letters.

Absolutely! It’s a timeless classic. Thus, always trendy.

Your comments demonstrate the power of Coco Chanel’s designs. They are really evergreen classy designs.

I also love the Chanel Parfum boxes. Simply beautiful.
