1. The Birth of a Luxury Fashion Giant
Founded in 1921 by Coco Chanel, Chanel is the epitome of luxury fashion. Over the ensuing century, the house has evolved from a single-boutique into a world-renowned fashion powerhouse. From its iconic fragrance line to its omnipresent fashion collections, Chanel is one of the most recognized brands in the fashion industry.
Chanel established itself as a leader in luxury fashion. Its signature style is instantly recognizable with tweed fabric, gold-plated hardware and quilted details. Coco Chanel’s iconic little black dress, which she introduced in 1926, helped revolutionize the industry and is still celebrated to this day. Its selection of luxury handbags such as the ‘2.55’ and ‘Boy Bag’ are must-have fashion items that have become global fashion staples. Through its unflinching commitment to quality, Chanel has set the gold standard for the fashion industry.

- We design luxurious pieces with a focus on texture, fabric, and detail.
- Each item is created with meticulous artisanship and quality materials, taking luxury fashion standards to a new level.
Fashion is elitist and exquisite and we bring both into each design.

We think outside of the box and are always looking for ways to raise the bar and bring something new to the art form.
