message: The reason behind the small zipper on the flap: This is where Coco kept her love letters to read as a reminder of her lovers.
The reason behind the small pocket on the back of the purse: This is where she kept her tip money.  She idolized masculine life style.  Their clothes, their wealth, their independents.  Although back then, men paid the bills; she rebelled and immitated their actions of paying for bills and tipping the servers and valet.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.8.166 (talk) 15:50, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Is there such a perfume as Chanel 22 or is it a lie?
Answer:  There is a Chanel 22. It used to be sold in department stores, but its available only in the boutiques now. 
Plus someone should mention that Marilyn Monroe gave Chanel 5 a VERY big free endorsement
:is that true?
Yes, it is true! MM was asked what was her favorite perfume? She answered, Channel #5! I believe it was around the time she was shooting "The Prince And The Showgirl"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.188.132 (talk) 03:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Edit 

message: On the Chanel No.5 entry, it is claimed that there were *six* test fragrances and Mme Chanel chose No. 5.  On this page there were only five for her to choose. Which is correct? --Navstar 18:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Both versions are wrong, the number of test fragrances was of course much higher, and the only reason for her just to select the vial number 5, was her affinity to the number 5, which she always regarded as her lucky number. At this time she had no idea what kind of scent it was. --193.154.12.69 (talk) 08:36, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Interesting, but no, the language is correct there.  "Toilet water" is a synonym for Eau de toilette, a lighter variation on perfume.  I added the trademark sourcing, but I'm not sure I formatted correctly. Would appreciate the help if someone could take a look! Metabrarian (talk) 04:33, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Upon request, hit this, pretty hard. The main move was to cut acres of redundant, flowery context and break up long, convoluted sentences. Other comments:
- There's no need to reference the same source repeatedly in a single paragraph, unless other refs are present.
- The lede should better balance the origins of the firm and its modern-day incarnation.
- It wasn't clear to me from the text whether Chanel emulated Dior, or maintained the original no-hourglass approach.
- Was she the mistress of the two men at the same time or did she switch?
- Lots of red links. I didn't remove them, but someone should.

replies: text: Thanks for the feedback, I think. The text did not make the timing of her relationships clear. "Simultaneously" was not in there. I don't follow fashion, copyeditors often don't follow the topics they work on. If the catalog is the subject, why are we reading about lovers? I am finished, so go for it. Cheers.

replies: text: For transparency, I was solicited on my talk page by the above COI editor. That said, the material added in this edit by an IP was sourced to a tweet. A claim like that should be backed up with a solid and reliable source. Several of the sources above, including the NYT, do seem to indicate at least a suspension of activities. For the moment at least, I've removed that material as not supported, and it would be best to get a consensus here before re-adding any claims like that. Sam Kuru (talk) 02:30, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
