She was one of the most influential fashion icons of all time. During a very brief career as a cabaret singer, Chanel performed in clubs in Vichy and Moulins where she was nicknamed “Coco.” Vintage Chanel jewellery is generally bold in design, gold or silver plated with distinctive colouring. Her iconic CC's seen on so many of her creations was an interpretation of a stained glass window in the Aubazine Abbey, Correze, in France where she spent her early years in the orphanage at Aubazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRODUCT CODE: WPN001418\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHANEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40250818232409,"sku":"WPN001418","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/7126\/products\/WPN001418.jpg?v=1663841363","url":"https:\/\/susancaplan.co.uk\/products\/1994-vintage-chanel-flap-handbag-brooch","provider":"Susan Caplan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
