Coco Chanel was born on August 19th, 1883 in Saumur, France. After the death of her mother, she was brought up in an orphanage due to her father’s inability to raise her. It was in the orphanage that Coco learned to sew, before opening her major fashion house in 1909 into. Since then, the brand has evolved to one of the most recognizable brands, responsible for creating top-quality designer handbags, accessories, clothing, and much more with some of the best materials.. Coco Chanel has revolutionized the women’s fashion industry - making comfort not a want but a necessity and incorporating male influences into her designs. She was ahead of her time and you can see it in every single one of her designs.
