Pre-Owned Chanel 2.55 Bags

The Chanel 2.55 bag is an iconic luxury handbag from one of the most famous fashion houses in the world. 

This Chanel classic flap bag came about because Coco Chanel wished for a handbag with thin straps that would free up her hands. At the time, handbags for society ladies were boxy, quite unfeminine, and were carried with both hands or on the crook of the arm. 

Quilted leather, the mademoiselle lock, and thin all-chin straps became the defining characteristics of this Chanel classic flap handbag and was thus named Chanel 2.55 after the date it was created, February 1955.
