Which logo motif is formed by two interlocking letters on Chanel products?

Chanel products use a logo motif formed by two interlocking Cs.

The interlocking-C logo is one of the most recognizable symbols in fashion. It is generally associated with the initials of Coco Chanel and appears on handbags, jewellery, cosmetics, packaging, and many other Chanel products.

The logo’s exact origin is often discussed alongside the Château de Crémat near Nice, whose decorative motifs have been suggested as an inspiration. However, claims about a single definitive source are not always presented consistently in historical accounts. The symbol became firmly associated with Chanel during the twentieth century.

The logo should not be confused with Chanel’s camellia motif, which is a flower used in clothing, jewellery, and advertising. Both are important Chanel symbols, but only the paired letter design is the interlocking-C logo.
