Always Karl Cola

It is no secret that chief designer for all things fabulous at Chanel, Mr Karl Lagerfeld has designed three Limited Edition bottles for Diet Coke. Harvey Nichols scored exclusivity for the sale of these fashion bottles helping to secure their position as one of the most innovative fashion forward department stores in London at present. I have longed to get my coral manicured mitts on these bottles, I have kept an article about the bottles from PR Week on my desk for the past few months. So I was elated to go and actually pick the set up for myself.

Harvey Nichols had the place sorted with three giant Karl Lagerfeld for Diet Coke bottles, endless shelves filled with the bottles and even a handsome display cube with the bottles set amongst grass. I was in my element.

The thing that took me by surprise about the bottles is that they are actual made from aluminium instead of glass as I had expected. My Matthew Williamson Coca Cola bottles (Selfridges Circa 2003) are original glass bottles coated in a high gloss luxury film packaging so I had imagined the Karl bottles would be the same. In one way that did disappoint me as the bottles feel far lighter than I would have wanted.

But all in all I love these bottles produced by Mr House-Of-Chanel. They are playful, animated and most importantly stylish. It is great that you can choose your favourite from the distinct variants or can pick up the whole set like I did. Either way Harvey Nichols is defiantly worth a visit and any girl who dreams of Karl/Chanel should have one gracing their bedroom shelves.
