CHANEL bag 2.55

The secrets of the Handbag”

An exclusive insight of the making of the infamous CHANEL 2.55.

In 1929 Mademoiselle Chanel was the first to introduce an elegant version of the shoulder bag. It did already exist, in the form of a large pouch with a wide strap, but was only used by members of the military. Women discovered, to their delight, that by using a thin strap they could walk around with their hands free. A new fashion was born. From then on, Mademoiselle Chanel constantly used this idea, until she eventually created the bag commonly known as the “2.55” (which is in fact its “date of birth”) in February 1955. The manufacturing of the bag takes 180 essential operations, and requires a level of precision and craftsmanship, which is outstanding. More from the fabulous Trendland (Chanel press release)
