Y2K CHANEL Iconic 4009 Rimless Sunglasses in Silver with Brown Gradient Lenses

The Chanel 4000 model was officially released in 2000 under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld, serving as a definitive pillar of the 2000’s era. These frames epitomized the turn-of-the-century shift toward a sporty, tech-forward aesthetic, capturing the matrix allure through their rimless, wrap-around silhouette and lightweight construction. What truly distinguishes this model is the integrated hardware design. Rather than simple decals, the iconic interlocking CC logos serve as the structural connection between the gradient lenses and the sleek, metallic arms. This fusion of utility and branding made them a staple for turn-of-the-century icons, solidifying their status as a luxury streetwear pioneer. During the early 2000s, they became the unofficial uniform of the paparazzi era. Famously popularized by Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, the 4000 models provided a sense of celebrity privacy while simultaneously flaunting high-status branding. Authenticated. Call outs- imperfection on left lense. Price reflective of lens condition. Valued at $600.
