The famous chanel fabric gained fame back in the 40s of the last century. It was then that the trendsetter of fashion and style, Coco Chanel, began to introduce new fabrics and styles into a woman's wardrobe, following her principle of "luxurious simplicity". At this time, she became interested in fabrics for men, from which sportswear was sewn: tweed, bouclé fabric. Inspired by the simplicity and low-key beauty of these fabrics, Coco creates on their basis its own variety - the chanel fabric.

Owning her own weaving factory, she herself drew up the colors of her fabrics, using natural colors in noble shades.

Care rules

Taking care of things made of Chanel fabric, given its loose structure, should be careful. If the composition contains wool, try to avoid frequent washings. Try dry cleaning on light dirt or contact a dry cleaner. This is especially true for items such as outerwear or a suit.

Small items such as skirts or trousers, hand wash very gently, use detergents for wool, cashmere or silk... The water temperature should not exceed 35 degrees. At higher temperatures, the product may shrink unwantedly. Be careful with the spin, it should be minimal. It is better to blot the product with any material that absorbs moisture well.

Clothes are usually dried horizontally, avoiding deformation. The item is laid out on a dense, absorbent fabric, a towel is placed on top and rolled into a roll. Leave to dry completely. The fabric is ironed from the inside out through gauze or other material, stored in covers.

Chanel clothes are a sign of good taste, a classic that should be in every woman's wardrobe. Coco Chanel herself said: "Fashion passes, style remains." The textile industry now produces a wide range of chanel fabrics in a wide variety of colors. Therefore, there will be no obstacles for the implementation of any design ideas.
