Chanel: A Timeless Icon of Luxury, Innovation, and Classic Elegance
Chanel is by far one of the most recognized brands in the world, with many young women and men alike wanting to own a piece of the brand, especially its signature Chanel classic and boy handbags.
The company was founded in 1910 under the patronage of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in Paris, France. Today, many people venture from all over the world to the infamous Chanel store in Paris, just to get a chance to purchase a product and see what life was like for the iconic Coco Chanel.
When Chanel was founded, its foray into fashion didn't begin with its signature tweed suits and handbags, but rather its early days were as a hat boutique with the first boutique being located in Paris but specifically in 31 Rue Cambon. Over the years, the company expanded to include
clothing, jewelry and accessories.
The reason Chanel is one of the most iconic luxury fashion brands in the world is because of its attitude towards innovation. Many people love Chanel because the company revolutionized women's fashion, during a time where a lot of women's wear items lacked a sense of style and
weren't as comfortable. One of the brand's key clothing items is the little black dress which has been featured in a wide range of movies. Later, the brand also introduced its fan favorite perfume the Chanel No.5 in 1921.
Many people also see Chanel as being a status symbol because the brand in itself contains a series of iconic symbols. Seen in many fashion shows around the world and on famous people like Jacqueline Kennedy is the Chanel tweed suit. Aside from that is the quilted handbag which first
made waves in 1995, and also the camellia flower which is seen as part of the packaging for these items. Moreover, the interlocking CC logo stands as a status symbol of Chanel.
