Questions About Early Coco Chanel
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 4, 2022
    Coco Chanel, born Gabrielle Chanel in France in 1883, was a fashion designer who got her nickname during her short-lived career as a cabaret singer. In 1910, she opened a boutique in Paris to sell her hats, which were beloved by the popular French actresses of the era. Her success with hats led her to open the first Chanel Couture House five years later, where she designed and sold women’s sportswear made of jersey — which until then was used to make men’s underwear. Her revolutionary style catapulted her to fame, and in the decades that followed, Coco Chanel remained on the cutting edge of fashion, creating modern, timeless clothing, perfumes and accessories — and, of course, her iconic bags, which are revered to this day. Shop a collection of Chanel from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Coco Chanel was influential because she reimagined apparel typically reserved for men, like blazers in feminine cuts and softer fabrics. Effortless and elegant, Chanel's designs promoted comfort and grace in women’s wear that had been dominated in the previous century by complicated layers of fabric and cumbersome corsets. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Chanel pieces from some of the world's top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Coco Chanel is most famous for founding the luxury French fashion house Chanel in 1910.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Coco Chanel used many bags over the course of her life, but there is little information about which specific bags she carried. There are accounts that the acclaimed designer sported her iconic 2.55 Flap Bag, which was the first bag to ever feature a shoulder strap when it debuted in 1955. Some say that she used the hidden zipper compartment in the quilted shoulder bag to hide love letters from an admirer. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of Chanel bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    Coco Chanel's most famous design is arguably either the 2.55 Flap Bag or the little black dress. In 1926, Chanel introduced her first little black dress, reclaiming a color that had once been reserved for mourning and working-class women. At the time, Vogue referred to it as Chanel's Ford, a reference to the Henry Ford Co. automobiles that were reshaping the automobile industry. Similarly, the little black dress was a landmark in fashion design. The earliest designs for the 2.55 Flap Bag date back to the 1920s, when Chanel began dabbling in designs for a woman's handbag that included a shoulder strap. In 1955, she finally introduced the bag, which gained fame as the first-ever shoulder bag (or one of the earliest) and it remains iconic to this day. Shop a diverse assortment of Chanel apparel, bags and accessories on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024
    After Coco died, Yvonne Dudel, Jean Cazaubon and Philippe Guibourgé took over Chanel. During the early 1970s, Jacques Wertheimer purchased the controlling interest in the French fashion house, and his son, Alain Wertheimer, took over for him in 1974. Karl Lagerfeld became the creative director of Chanel in 1983 and served in the role until his death in 2019. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chanel apparel, bags and accessories.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    Coco Chanel made the quilted purse known as the 2.55 to solve a problem. The handbags that were available during the early 20th century were often hard to carry because they only had handles. Chanel added a chain strap to the 2.55, giving women the freedom to sling it over their shoulders for easy carrying. As to why the 2.55 featured diamond quilting, she was enamored with the pattern, which she first encountered on saddle cloths, groom's jackets and horse blankets at a friend's stables, and introduced it to her designs in the 1920s. By the time the 2.55 debuted in 1955, diamond quilting had become synonymous with the French fashion house. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of Chanel bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 4, 2024
    The first Coco Chanel fashion shows were reportedly held on rue Cambon in Paris.

    The first Chanel shop was established in 1910 in the French capital at 31 rue Cambon by the young milliner Gabrielle Chanel, who had picked up the nickname "Coco" while working as a club singer. The boutique drew the attention of the Parisian fashion elite who popularized her wide-brimmed Chanel Modes hats. The ground floor housed the boutique, while the area upstairs was utilized for a salon for couture fittings as well as a space for models to show off Chanel's present collections.

    Coco Chanel first made the little black dress popular in 1926. That year, Vogue magazine referred to the dress as Chanel’s Model T as a way to describe how the approachable design was something the average woman could wear, just as Ford’s Model T automobile made it possible for more everyday people to own a car. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Chanel dresses.
