Chanel opened its redesigned boutique at South Coast Plaza last Thursday.
The boutique, a go-to destination at the mall since 1990, has been redesigned by architect Peter Marino to be airy and modern.

The 9,000-square-foot boutique features an installation by contemporary abstract artist Nancy Lorenz, rock crystal screens by artist Christophe Côme and Maison d’Art Goossens chandeliers.
The boutique carries ready-to-wear apparel, handbags, shoes, costume jewelry, accessories, watches and fine jewelry. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
