Creators of Luxury fashion, watches and jewellery.
Founded in 1910, the small shop selling ladies headwear had moved to the upmarket Rue Cambon within a year. The house became especially famous with the elegant little black dress, tweed suit, and its signature No. 5 fragrance, which debuted in 1921.
Ernext Beaux later went on to create many other perfumes for Chanel, including No. 22 (1922) and Bois des Iles (1926), all of which were reintroduced as boutique exclusives around 1986. Chanel revolutionized haute couture fashion by completely replacing the traditional corset with the comfort and casual elegance of simple suits and dresses.
Today Chanel provides high end accessories in a number of market areas. Of course the focus is still on fashion, as when the company started, and chanel are best known for their handbags and sunglasses.
Fragrances are another facet of the business, with their No.5 perfume being renowned across the globe. more recently other lines have been added, including both jewellery and watch making.
