CHANEL
(/ƩƏˈNƐL/ SHƏ-NEL,
FRENCH: [ƩANƐL] )
Chanel is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1910 by
Coco Chanel in Paris. It is privately owned by the
Wertheimer family and has been headquartered in London
since 2018.
ABOUT CHANEL
Chanel specializes in women’s ready-to-wear, luxury goods, and
accessories and licenses its name and branding to Luxottica for
eyewear.Chanel is well known for its perfume and
“Chanel Suit”. Chanel is credited for revolutionizing haute couture
and ready-to-wear by replacing structured, corseted silhouettes
with more functional garments that women still found flattering

The House of Chanel originated in 1909, when Gabrielle Chanel

opened a millinery shop at 160 Boulevard Malesherbes, the
ground floor of the Parisian flat of the socialite and textile
businessman Étienne Balsan, of whom she was the
mistress.Because the Balsan flat also was a salon for the French
hunting and sporting élite, Chanel had the opportunity to meet
their demi-mondaine mistresses who, as such, were women of
fashion, upon whom the rich men displayed their wealth – as
ornate clothes, jewellery, and hats.
