Whilst fashion accessory trends wax and wane there are a number of classic handbags which will never go out of style. These bags are not so much accessories as heirlooms, and their iconic status has inspired many other designs and imitations throughout fashion history.
The Chanel 2.55 Bag
Coco Chanel’s quilted, chain–handled bag is as popular with fashionistas today as its initial creation in 1955. The bag takes it name from the year of its birth, and is instantly recognizable by its (at the time) revolutionary chain-strap, and quilted texture. Inspired by the quilted coats worn by boys at the race track which Coco Chanel so often frequented, the Chanel 2.55 has spawned many imitations but is still in a class of its own.
More than 50 years on the Chanel 2.55 remains a firm fashion favorite due to its practical styling. According to designer Karl Lagerfeld, “The 2.55 is the lightest, easiest, most comfortable bag. Everyone who carries it looks modern.”
