Chanel are at the forefront of selling goods with ever increasing price tags. The classic Chanel flap bag & reissue of the 2.55 goes up by price around 30% every year. With this, you have a much bigger chance of making a large portion of your money would you ever (dare) to sell your bag, and the earlier you invest in the bag, the more money you save! The Chanel 2.55 will never go on sale at Chanel, due to it being their most popular design & a timeless classic. There is such demand for the Chanel 2.55 bag that they rarely hit the shop floor due to long and extended waiting lists.

2) They grow old gracefully

The construction of a Chanel bag is extremely high using the best quality leather and the best craftsmanship, they are well made bags some of our bags vintage bags are over 25 years old and the condition is near new; testimony to Chanel craftsmanship. Chanel 2.55 bags are strictly only made in France, by specialist craftsmen. Whereas other Chanel bags are crafted in Italy as well as France.

response from customers who have bought new 2.55 Chanel bags compared to those who have bought Vintage 2.55, is that the craftsmanship is that much better with the vintage items. The chain of the 2.55 bags are gilded in 24 carat gold (reasoning for the price of the bag!) & Chanel re-guild chain straps, making a vintage item look as good as new!

They say ‘imitation is the greatest form of flattery’. Many well known designers have been inspired by the classic design of the Chanel 2.55, from Marc Jacobs to high street retailers such as Zara & Topshop.

There are many design elements which have been taken from the 2.55 – chain strap, leather flap closure, turnstile lock, quilted leather stitching, and incorporated into different styles of bags, confirming that the Chanel 2.55 is as relevant to the luxury customer today as it was in the 1950s.

In the 1950′s clutches were the favoured ladies handbag, meaning that one or even both of your hands were occupied by your handbag. Coco Chanel specifically designed the Chanel 2.55 with a moveable double chain allowing the chain to be worn at two different lengths, across the body, or on the shoulder, freeing up your hands for comfort and practicality. Designing a bag with a chain strap was a revolutionary design, the first of its kind, as Coco was the first to make a handbag part of awoman’soutfit.

Coco Chanel designed the 2.55 with a double flap to protect your belongs, meaning the 2.55 is a secure bag…. HIGH SECURITY.

The lining of most 2.55 bags is a burgundy colour, said to relate to the colour of the uniform of her orphanage where she grew up as a child. The burgundy lining has a practical function as it contrast to the exterior black, Coco Chanel specifically chose to make it easier and quicker to find your belongings. No-one enjoys fishing around the depths of darkness of a bag, to find your lipstick…which is another clever design feature of the 2.55. Inside the bag is a pleated pocket, designed for your lipstick to be stored.
The 2.55 Classic bag come in various sizes from the mini 15cm to sought after Jumbo XL 34cm

The design of the 2.55 still has no rival to its classic design. A Chanel 2.55 bag does not date and it will (we hope!) never go out of style. Since the bag was launched in February 1955- symbolising the name of the bag 2.55, it has been popular amongst women all over the world, from a wide range of backgrounds, of all different age groups, with polar opposite styles. Nowadays there is a style for everyone, with sizes ranging from XS (15 cm wide) to XL Jumbo (35 cm wide), with the most popular and most sought after the classic 25 cm considered medium size. Every season the 2.55 are made in limited edition wide range of colours, & different materials including exotic skins, patent, canvas, & lambskin.

It is rumored that Coco Chanel used to use the zip style pocket on the inside of the flap, to store love letters (Cute right!), whilst the extra back was designed to store extra cash.

Boy ‘Capel’ was Chanel’s first true love, and he was the man that financed Coco’s first boutique which at the turn of the century was unheard of, he saw Chanel’s passion and talent. The famous interlocking CC lock synonymous with the 2.55 bag is called the ‘mademoiselle’ lock so called because Chanel never married. But it is also alleged the two CC signify Chanel and Capel designed in memory of Capel forever intertwined in love.

Men aspire to own Rolex watches and fast cars, this is our equivalent. Owning a classic 2.55 bag is the ultimate luxury ‘toy’ it makes you feel special! As Coco Chanel said ‘A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous’. With all the above, we hope we have answered theperennialquestion ‘Why buy a Chanel 2.55 bag’.
