Chanel 2.55 bag is a timeless classic.
It's one of those iconic bags that will never go out of style. Designed by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel herself, it was named after the date of its inception, February 1955. Even until today, it remains as stylish as it was 51 years ago. In fashion, there are very few things that can last the test of time, but this purse has proven its charms.
Chanel 2.55, often referred to as the "classic flap bag" by sales associates, has been said to be the foundation of any handbag collection. The double chain shoulder strap was invented by Coco Chanel to free up use of women's hands; and the diamond quilted design was inspired by jockey’s coats. It also features double flap closure with a larger exterior pocket for illicit love letters, and interior pockets to keep lipsticks and compacts in place. In the 1980’s, Karl Lagerfeld put the CC monogram turn clasp into the design which has since become a sensation. Over the years, this bag has been redone so many times that it comes in all kinds of materials, colours, designs and various sizes these days.
