CHILDHOOD
• The Chanel family did not have money.• No one knew how to spell Chanel so the mayor improvised and recorded it with an ‘S’ making it Chasnel.• When Gabrielle was twelve, her mother died of tuberculosis, and her father disappeared.• School vacations were spent with relatives. Female relatives taught Coco to sew with more flourish than the nuns at monastery were able to demonstrate. • When Coco turned eighteen, she left the orphanage.
