Bag to woman is like automobile to man, heroin to drug addict, right to politician, acting as a magnetite with huge magic. While many bags which made a furor for a time in the fashion tide have become dot-gone, only the classic is everlasting. The classic bags show the great fashion fascinations and are the unflagging pursuit for every woman.

Chanel 2.55
It does not get any more classic than this. Launched in February 1955, the Chanel 2.55 is as stylish today as it was more than 50 years ago. The 2.55 handbag bears that particular name simply because it was originally issued in February 1955. Her features have all a piece of tale to tell. From the inside out:

The lining - The lining’s brown color represents the color of the uniforms from the convent where she grew up.

The inside compartment - there’s a zippered compartment at the inside of the front flap. That’s where Coco Chanel hid her love letters from her lover at the time.

The backside - there’s a back outside flap on the handbag – that’s where Ms Chanel stashed extra money.

The shoulder strap – as I said before, Coco Chanel grew up in a convent, at the orphanage. The caretakers hold the keys at their waist dangling from the same type of chains as the 2.55 shoulder strap chains.

The front lock – the 2.55 front lock is different from the classic double CC logo. Its logo is called “the Mademoiselle Lock” (because Ms Chanel was never married)

To celebrate its 50th Anniversary, the Chanel 2.55 was re-released in fall 2005 by Karl Lagerfeld. The new version has a turn clasp instead of the CC clasp, which makes it more discrete and perhaps even more appealing.

Chanel 2.55 tells us that a true classic design, will never withdraw from the trend.
