This year marks the 70th anniversary of the iconic Chanel 2.55 bag, a timeless piece that has left an indelible mark on the fashion world. Introduced by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in February 1955, the 2.55 bag was a revolutionary design that combined elegance with practicality, liberating women's hands with its shoulder strap—a departure from the traditional handheld purses of the time.
The 2.55 bag is rich in symbolic details. The burgundy lining reflects the uniforms of the convent where Chanel was raised, while the quilted leather design is inspired by equestrian elements, reminiscent of jockeys' riding coats. The distinctive double-chain shoulder strap was influenced by the chains used by the caretakers of the convent, and the original rectangular "Mademoiselle" lock signifies Chanel's unmarried status. These thoughtful design elements have contributed to the bag's enduring allure and status as a fashion staple. In 2005, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 2.55, Chanel's then creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, introduced the "Reissue 2.55," staying true to the original design and reigniting admiration for this classic piece.
