Chanel FAQ'S
The iconic Chanel bag has a fascinating history dating back to the 1920s when Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel revolutionised women's fashion with her liberating and practical designs. Initially designed to free women from the constraints of traditional handbags that had to be held in their hands, Chanel's first creation was a simple, hands-free bag crafted from soft leather with a thin shoulder strap.
Over the years, the brand continued to innovate, introducing the now-famous quilted leather material, inspired by the jackets worn by horse riders. This luxurious texture and timeless elegance quickly became synonymous with Chanel bags. Today, owning a vintage Chanel handbag is not just about acquiring a functional accessory, but embracing the spirit of luxury and timeless style.
