I admit it, I'm very much a Chanel girl. Coco Chanel is among my personal heroes.
First of all, the woman gave zero fucks. Zero. She did what she wanted, who she wanted (married or not), when she wanted, despite what people around her thought she should be doing.
For a woman during her time, Coco's behavior was viewed as controversial and... even improper. She seemed to have always been pushing it, whether it was pioneering the iconic little black dress (which at the time was perceived as morbid and certainly not the wardrobe staple it is today) or sunbathing and getting tan in St. Tropez.
What started out as a hat-maker's atelier eventually became one of the most iconic fashion houses in history.
A few years ago, I read a biography about her and was immediately captivated because Coco reminded me so much of myself. OK, enough geeking out. Here's my list of 5 Chanel bags I'd like to own some day!
1. Light Pink Medium Classic Flap | 2. Medium Le Boy with antiqued gold hardware | 3. Beige [iridescent champagne] rectangular mini flap | 4. Cruise '18-19 'Tiffany Blue' Medium Classic Flap | 5. Chevron Gabrielle Hobo Bag
