A fascinating video of Coco Chanel fashion from the earlier days. Her mark on the fashion and perfume industry is the stuff of legend. Today vintage Chanel fetches still astronomical prices.

Nymphea Poudre Box
 
This past July, I ventured away on an odyssey to France, where I was fortunate enough to see many beautiful little vintage shops. In Sault, Provence, which is an exquisite village in the mountains, I visited a lovely old man's shop, filled with treasures! From vintage soap and perfume labels, to prints , this place was a true find! It is here I bought this vintage powder box, a stunning little thing in excellent condition. Powder boxes had beautiful scented cosmetic powders with lovely packaging such as this.
