Description
Model History:
Introduced in the 1980s and heir to the legendary 2.55 bag imagined by Coco Chanel in 1955, this two-tone version revisits the codes of discreet luxury with a strong contrast, characteristic of the lines created under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld. This type of model embodies the evolution of the house’s flap bags, combining modern practicality with timeless aesthetics, while retaining key elements such as the gold chain, quilted leather and CC iconography.
Exterior Details:
The bag is crafted in smooth beige leather for the main body, contrasted by black grained leather inserts on the edges and flap. Gold metallic finishes add a touch of understated sophistication. The polished metal CC logo is centered on the front, topped by a gilded metal chain interlaced with black leather. Its practical dimensions (approx. 23 x 15 x 7 cm) make it a compact yet functional model, suitable for everyday use or dressier occasions.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag is lined in black leather with diamond stitching, featuring the house’s iconic quilted motif. It features a zipped pocket and a spacious main compartment for essentials. It closes with a gold-tone metal turnstile button for added security. The interior leather label stamped “Chanel – Made in Italy” attests to its authenticity.
