      Chanel is officially China's favourite luxury fashion brand, knocking last year's winner Louis Vuitton from the top spot.
      French fashion label Chanel came third in the country's 2013 World Luxury Index, beaten only by Audi and BMW - who ranked first and second respectively.
      The luxury index, which is produced by research and market intelligence firm, Digital Luxury Group, believe that Chanel's position was helped by their lucrative beauty offerings.

      Salvatore Ferragamo and Moncler, however, dropped out of this year’s rankings.
      Speaking to WWD, David Sadigh, founder and chief executive officer of Digital Luxury Group, said:
      'Chanel is benefitting from an important level of interest in China, mostly emanating from strong interest from Chinese consumers in its beauty products, which Louis Vuitton does not have.'

      Sadigh added: 'In order to stay ahead of the game, brands must have the ability to adapt quickly thus reducing the risk of brand saturation.
      'In the case of Louis Vuitton, LVMH has already shifted gears, putting the brakes on its global expansion, whilst raising prices and developing more leather upmarket products.'
      Louis Vuitton will soon attempt to capitalise on China's obsession with beauty by launching its first fragrance since the Eighties.
