Chanel Boy Grey and Patent Small

The Chanel Boy has become a must-have in the house of the double CC.

The Boy was born from the imagination of Karl Lagerfeld.

A love story at the dawn of the 20th century, Gabrielle Chanel,

much courted, she meets Etienne de Balsan, a rich French motorcyclist,

Their idyll lasted only a short time, shortly after Coco meets a certain Arthur Capel,

English polo player nicknamed "Boy" and wise businessman

who turned the heart of the young milliner who followed him to Paris

and lends her the funds to open her first boutique called

"Chanel Modes" at 21 rue Cambon.

The history of the house of Chanel can begin.

Despite their passionate love story and thanks

to Chanel's modest origins,

Boy eventually marries an English woman to satisfy the demands

that his aristocratic status imposes on him.

Humiliated, Gabrielle Chanel accepts the situation

and their relationship will continue anyway...

until the terrible car accident that Boy is victim of in 1919.

Struck by the loss of her lover, Gabrielle puts her heart and soul into her work

so as not to sink into pain.

A state of mind of a hard worker that will be useful to her because

will experience the immense success we know.
