Chanel 2.55 Quilted Reissue Double Flap Bag

Among the many innovations that Chanel brought to the fashion world, the Chanel Flap Bag stands out as a masterpiece of design and functionality. Introduced in February 1955, hence its original name, the 2.55 Bag, it was born out of Coco Chanel’s desire to create a handbag that was both beautiful and practical. The Flap Bag featured a quilted leather design, a chain strap that allowed it to be worn on the shoulder—a novelty at the time—and a distinctive lock. It was a bag designed for the modern woman, offering freedom from the cumbersome hand-held bags of the era, and it has since become an indelible icon of luxury and style.
