The Chanel Single Flap Always Remains Original

 "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.," so said the great designer, Coco Chanel. Although she passed on more than thirty years, her name today is continually associated with high end couture and fine products from perfume to watches.

Born in 1883, her start began from a humble background in Saumur, France. Born as Gabrielle her rather drab and ordinary life would rapidly change.

Coco entered the fashion world because of her own distaste to the cumbersome clothing of the times. She despised corsets and started to experiment with fabrics for more loose draping apparel for her own comfort. She expanded her small shop to couture and her relaxed fashions set a new trend worldwide.  Shorter skirts, chemise draping and a more tailored mannish look adapted women to these more comfortable clothes with ease.

In the mid twenties, she created the "little black dress", which is indispensable from any woman’s wardrobe even today. Her signature cardigan jacket is still seen on the Paris runway, year after year with very little modifications. Development of several perfumes and accessories, introduced Coco to the world. She continued to work her couture until her death in 1971. Coco’s designs will live on from generation to generation and are forever classics.

Karl Lagerfeld took over as chief designer of the House of Chanel in 1973 and has kept key signature pieces in every collection that always appear original. One such item that nearly every celeb including Victoria Beckham, Demi Lovato and Amanda Seyfried has in their Chanel collection is an authentic Chanel Single Flap Bag.
