Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

When you think of Chanel, the first images that might flood to mind are of quilted handbags and rather fabulous clothing with liberal sprinklings of C's everywhere. After all, it is not a label that has been backward at coming forward of late. All this is changing. "I have taken things far enough at Chanel. Today, 10 years on, I am going back to the starting block," says Chanel's designer Karl Lagerfeld. Certainly you wouldn't immediately associate this exquisite and simple pair of shoes with Chanel; but flat lace-up Derbys (named after the 12th Earl of Derby who founded the race of the same name) featured heavily in Chanel's autumn/winter 1995 ready-to-wear collection and were worn with three-quarter length coats, knits, and trouser suits. They are beautifully made in two tone leather (black patent with beige leather as shown or black patent with black leather). AB

! Chanel two-tone Derbys, pounds 360 in sizes 36 1/5 to 41 1/5 available from Chanel, 26 Old Bond Street, London W1 (0171 493 5040) and 31 Sloane Street, London SW1 (0171 235 6631).
