Chanel Bronze Metallic Aged Quilted Leather 2.55 Reissue 226 Double Flap Shoulder Bag W/Dust Bag - This exquisite and incredibly rare bag by Chanel is the 2.55 Reissue Double Flap shoulder bag in the 226 size, which is perfect for every day carry. The bag is inspired by Coco Chanel`s original 2.55 Flap Bag design which got its name from its February 1955 debut. The 2.55 changed handbag history, as it was Chanel`s first shoulder-carried bag and created the first time that it was acceptable for women of social status to carry a bag on their shoulders. The bag is crafted of exquisite metallic bronze aged calfskin with silver ruthenium hardware trim. It also features Coco Chanel`s Mademoiselle Lock (which is said to have got its name from the fact that Coco Chanel never married) that the original 2.55 Flap Bag had prior to the 1980s introduction of the Double CC lock. The bag has the full chain strap of the original 2.55 as opposed to the modern leather-woven chain straps of the Classic Flaps. The double flaps open to reveal a metallic bronze leather interior with one zipped "love note" pocket on the inside of the flap (it is said that Coco created this pocket as a secret spot to hide her love letters), three slit pockets, and one lipstick pocket. This gorgeous statement bag is a collector`s dream, as it is an incredibly rare piece with a wonderful history. This bag also has wonderful investment potential, as Chanel constrains its supply, regularly raises prices and is generally regarded as a luxury favorite on the resale market and hard to find versions regularly sell for above their original retail prices. Includes: Dust bag. Date Code: 11XXXXXX (2006-2008). Measurements: 11 x 7.75 x 2.75 inches. Condition: Overall excellent condition. Shows little signs of wear, has been kept in really good environment.
