Chanel Founders Facts, History, and Trivia:
Chanel fashions and the Chanel brand were created by Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel, who first learned how to sew while living in a nunnery where she was raised after her mother died.
The first Chanel retail store was opened in Paris in 1910 and exclusively sold hats. Chanel's next two stores in France also sold clothing which she designed and sewed herself. The Chanel brand is best known for its little black dress, tweed suit, quilted handbag two-tone shoes and “the perfect red lipstick.” Chanel No.5 is credited as being the first perfume to be branded with a fashion designer’s name and is reportedly is still the best selling fragrance in history.
Coco Chanel died on January 10, 1971, and Karl Lagerfeld took over leadership as chief designer of the Chanel business in 1983. More than 40 years after the death of Coco Chanel, the Chanel brand is one of the World's Most Valuable Retail Brands.
Currently Chanel has international retail store locations in more than 120 countries, with separate Chanel retail stores for fashion and accessories, fine jewelry, beauty, and eyewear.
