The Chanel 2.55, the most emblematic model of the maison, was born in February 1955 -hence its name-. The designer created it to free women from the slavery of handbags, inspired by the bags carried by soldiers. Over the decades, the Chanel 2.55 bag has become a symbol of timeless elegance and style. It has been carried by numerous celebrities and fashion figures, which has contributed to its iconic status.
