Designer Tennis Balls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Chanel Tennis Balls are Emblazoned with the Brand's Famous Logo

— May 18, 2017 — Luxury
Tennis has long been associated with luxury, and so too has Chanel, the iconic French fashion brand, so it's no surprise that Chanel tennis balls are part of the company's recently released Spring-Summer 2017 pre-collection. The $450, pure white tennis balls come with Chanel's famous interlocking Cs logo (in the place of the Wilson or Dunlop logo that would grace the average yellow-green sphere), and they come in a plush canvas and elasthane bag rather than the standard plastic canister.

In terms of performance, it's unclear whether the Chanel tennis balls could feasibly stand up to tournament balls from tennis brands like the two mentioned above. That factor also isn't exactly essential -- the Chanel tennis balls are more likely to spend time on display that bouncing around on a court for most consumers.
