“In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.”– Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel
Iconic, stylish, and greatly popular, the renowned Chanel Flap Bags are definitely worth the investment! Whether it is the 2.55, named after the date of its creation in February 1955, or the Classic Flap redesigned in 1983 by Karl Lagerfeld, who introduced the interlocking CC clasp that replaced the square twisting lock; these bags continue to take over the fashion world, even after 65 years, gaining in value and popularity.
But did you know that these oh-so-elegant-yet-comfortable bags were allegedly inspired by the military satchels worn in the 1920s? It is also good to know that the 2.55 was the first bag to be shoulder-carried, allowing women to keep their hands free, hence changing the handbag history!
