Meet Johannie Chauffrey-Bonabot
Johannie is a talented jewellery designer & illustrator based at our Brookvale boutique in Warringah Mall, she has been a member of the team at Dracakis since 2022.
Which powerful woman do you admire the most?
I will definitely say Gabrielle Bonheur dit "Coco" Chanel. She is a very strong part of my culture, not only in fashion but in art lifestyle and culture and history, I admire her because she was born into a very modest family. She manages to create one of the most influential luxury brand in the world. She first started working in a cabaret as a singer performing for soldiers during world war II and was a seamstress during the day. She changes the world of fashion and also it was a revolution back in the 1920 era a woman with her ideas and vision. Chanel is now one of the most influential and powerful fashion brands in the world and it all started from an Idea, hard work and a woman's commitment. She is a great inspiration for me of determination of hard work and success.
What are you most proud of?
I am very proud to be french. (just kidding) I will say I've been very lucky to be a very independent person since a young age, my grandmother use to have multiple businesses and she raised me part-time with my mum, they both push me to always follow my dreams which lead me to my journey of travelling and living in different countries by myself from when I was 18 year old. Australia was probably one of my biggest challenges and I am very proud of my journey and all the hard work I've done to be able to create the life I have here today.
What did you dream of doing when you were a little girl?
I wanted to be a Dive Instructor, and have my own shop near the beach.
What is your favourite piece of jewellery & why?
It is my diamond necklace, I brought it for my mum 50's birthday and my mum offered it back to me this year for my 30s as she is very far away it is a way for me to have a bit of her with me.
