Rare, discontinued, and utterly Chanel.

A timeless piece from Chanel's iconic Camellia eyewear collection, these authentic Chanel 5248-A sunglasses showcase elegant craftsmanship and enduring style. The oversized butterfly silhouette is beautifully crafted in translucent navy blue acetate and paired with blue gradient lenses for a sophisticated look that remains as striking today as when it was first introduced.

Delicate sculpted Camellia flowers accented with the signature interlocking CC logo adorn each temple — making this design instantly recognizable to Chanel collectors and enthusiasts alike. Discontinued and increasingly difficult to source, this rare navy colorway represents an exceptional opportunity to own an archival Chanel accessory in outstanding condition.

The Camellia has been Chanel's most beloved floral motif since Coco Chanel herself adopted it as her personal symbol in the early 20th century. On these frames, it appears in full sculptural detail — a wearable piece of fashion history.

Why Collectors Love the Chanel Camellia Collection

The Camellia is Chanel's most enduring and personal symbol — chosen by Coco Chanel herself for its simplicity, elegance, and timelessness. Camellia eyewear pieces are among the most sought-after in the Chanel archive, prized by collectors for their sculptural temple detail and the unmistakable femininity they bring to every look. Discontinued colorways like this translucent navy are exceptionally rare to find in excellent condition with the complete original set — making this listing a genuine collector's opportunity.

How We Source

At Shimmer & Shawls, we are selective about the items we offer and the sources from which we acquire them.

Our sourcing process may include:

  • Working with established suppliers, luxury wholesalers, consignment partners, and trusted industry sources
  • Evaluating the provenance, condition, and authenticity indicators of each item before it is offered for sale
  • Reviewing supporting documentation when available, including receipts, authenticity certificates, and original accessories
  • Maintaining records and documentation for the items we carry whenever possible
  • Obtaining independent third-party authentication for select luxury items in accordance with our authentication practices

Not every item will include original documentation; however, every luxury item is carefully evaluated before being added to our collection.

Third-Party Authentication

When authentication is included, the authentication provider and any accompanying documentation will be clearly disclosed within the product listing.

Not every item will include a third-party authentication certificate. The absence of a COA does not indicate an item is inauthentic. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell regardless of whether third-party authentication documentation is provided.

Due to the unique nature of luxury, designer, vintage, and authenticated merchandise, many of these items are considered final sale. Customers are encouraged to review all photographs, measurements, descriptions, and condition details carefully prior to purchasing.

Product Information Disclaimer

We make every effort to ensure that all product descriptions, photographs, measurements, colors, date codes, serial numbers, and specifications are accurate to the best of our knowledge.

However, colors may appear differently depending on screen settings, device displays, photography, and lighting conditions.

Vintage and pre-owned luxury goods may naturally exhibit variations due to age, manufacturing differences, and prior ownership.

Minor inaccuracies, omissions, or typographical errors may occasionally occur and do not constitute grounds for claims regarding authenticity or item misrepresentation.

Photography & Image Disclaimer

We make every effort to accurately represent each item through photographs and detailed descriptions.

Unless otherwise noted, the photographs shown in a product listing are of the actual item being offered for sale.

For certain new, new-with-tags (NWT), current-season items, or boutique products, stock photographs, manufacturer images, lifestyle images, modeled images, or digitally enhanced images may be used to showcase style, fit, functionality, or styling inspiration.

When applicable, actual photographs of the item will also be included within the listing whenever possible.

Images may appear enlarged to show details, craftsmanship, texture, hardware, wear, stones, embellishments, or other features that may not be visible at standard viewing sizes.

Color appearance may vary due to lighting conditions, photography, editing, monitor settings, and device displays.

Customers should rely on the listed measurements and product specifications rather than photographs alone when evaluating an item’s size and dimensions.

Date Codes, Serial Numbers & Production Information

When available, date codes, serial numbers, authenticity stamps, factory markings, hallmarks, or production codes may be included in the product description and/or photographs.

The presence of a date code, serial number, hallmark, or production marking does not independently guarantee authenticity, nor does the absence of one necessarily indicate an item is inauthentic, as authentication methods and manufacturing practices vary by brand and production year.

Customers are encouraged to review all photographs and product details and contact us with any questions prior to purchase.
