Judithe Little - A Chanel nővérek

Gabrielle and Antoinette Chanel know from childhood that they deserve "something better". In the orphanage where they are sent after their mother's death, the nuns raise them for a modest, simple life, but at night they dream of a brighter future. They decide to prove that they really deserve a better fate.
As the first stop on the way out of poverty, Gabrielle, or Coco, works as a seamstress and sings in bohemian cafes, while Antoinette, or Ninette, works in a hat salon. Later, they opened their first small hat shop in Paris, which soon developed into an elegant boutique, and then they opened more salons in the fashionable resort towns of France, Deauville and Biarritz.
However, the outbreak of war changes everything. The journey of the Chanel sisters continues through great loves and fatal tragedies, and they must fight harder than ever to leave their mark. Based on real biographical elements, the twisting story is about will, perseverance, strength and unadulterated French elegance.

The Chanel Sisters takes the reader through the colorful kaleidoscope of Paris at the beginning of the 20th century to the extraordinary legacy of the two sisters that lives on today: the world's most iconic haute couture fashion house.
