Chanel store, new Broadway with new funky decor, Manhattan, New York, USA
The House of Chanel, more commonly known as Chanel, is a Parisian fashion house in France founded by Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel ( - ). According to Forbes, the privately held House of Chanel is jointly owned by Alain Wertheimer and Gerard Wertheimer who are the grandsons of the early (1924) Chanel partner Pierre Wertheimer. The Luxury Line, introduced in 2006 featuring a metal chain embedded in the leather, is one of the most desired "it" bags of the moment. The House of Chanel, under the leadership of Karl Lagerfeld, has defined the style and fashion of Chanel as being the five essentials: audacious, perfectionist, unique, passionate, and visionary. The Chanel logotype is an overlapping double-C, one facing forwards the other facing backwards. This derives from the name Coco Chanel. "Coco" is the nickname frequently used by Chanel founder, Gabrielle Chanel. The logotype was not trade-marked until during the first openings of Chanel stores. Chanel is currently dealing with illegal use of the double-C logotype on cheaper goods, especially fake handbags. Countries said to be producing great numbers of fake Chanel handbags are Vietnam, Thailand, and China. An authentic Chanel handbag retails around $1,500, while a fake usually costs around $60, creating a demand for the signature style at a cheaper price.
