About Chanel
Founded in 1910 when Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel opened a hat shop at 21 rue Cambon in Paris, the house grew from milliner to full couturier within a few years — and went on to redefine what luxury could look like, trading corsets and ornamentation for jersey, tailoring, and quiet confidence.

The scent that started "designer fragrance"
Created in 1921 with perfumer Ernest Beaux, No.5 was reportedly chosen from a set of numbered samples — Chanel simply picked the fifth vial. Its abstract, aldehyde-forward composition was unlike the single-flower scents of the day, and it became the first perfume to be sold under a fashion designer's own name, a model the entire industry later copied.
A bag built from Chanel's own life
Introduced in February 1955 (giving the bag its name), the quilted flap drew on details Chanel knew personally — the diamond stitching echoed jockeys' jackets, and the chain strap was inspired by the keychains worn by caretakers at the orphanage where she was raised, freeing a woman's hands for the first time from a hand-held bag.

Still privately owned by the Wertheimer family, Chanel has kept its founder's instinct for reinvention without ever discarding what made her famous — the tweed, the pearls, the No.5 bottle, largely unchanged since 1921.
