CHANEL

The Young life of CoCo Chansel.

We all know of the legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel, but most don't really know her background. (At least I didn't) Her full name is Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. Chanel was born on August 19, 1884 in Saumur, France. Although Chanel was named after her father Albert Chanel, he and Chanel's mother were not bewed. She was the daughter of mother, Eugénie "Jeanne" Devolle, a laundrywoman. When her mother had first given birth to Chanel her name was legally registered Chansel. Chanel was 12 years old when her mother died of a horrible case of bronchitis at the young age of 31. Chanel was not an only child either, she had 4 other siblings. Chanel's father sent his 2 sons out to work as farm laborers and sent his 3 daughters to central France. When Chanel turned 18, she was too old to remain at Aubazine, the school her and her 2 sisters were attending while in France, she was sent to a boarding house for Catholic girls in Moulins.

Chanel had a very successful business making clothing, jewelry, make-up, and perfume.

Chanel did not grow up with an easy life, she had to work for what she had.

Chanel died on January 10,1971 at the age of 87 in her sleep.
