Now we are not saying this blazer is by Chanel or associated in any way to the grand pillar of french style, but, putting on this blazer is going to make you feel just as chic as if you’d dropped a portion of your life savings at the famous Rue Cambon flagship store.

31 Rue Cambon, was also the Paris home of Coco Chanel which is above the store. During shows she would sit on the famous staircase, the walls of which had floor to ceiling mirrors. From her secret spot, she could see the reactions of the audience as her famous designs slinked down the runway.

To see her apartment in all its chicness, we recommend watching the sensuous 2009 film, ‘Stravinsky and Coco Chanel’, as the actual apartment was used during filming, and has been kept exactly as it was during Coco’s lifetime by the Chanel estate.
