Mademoiselle Coco!

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” ~ Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel lived at the Ritz Hotel in Paris but worked and entertained within walking distance at her famous address 31 Rue Cambon. There are four floors to this space: the Chanel store is on the street level, haute couture dressing rooms are on the second floor, her stylish apartment is on the third floor, and her workshop is on the fourth. The rooftop of the building is said to have some of the best views of Paris. 

Chanel lived here until her death in 1971, and everything has been kept just the way she left it. She didn’t actually sleep here, as there is no bedroom in the flat. Instead, she kept a private suite at the Ritz across the street.

Enjoy a small peek into here lifestyle!

Love,

The Duchess xoxo
