The revamped classic Chanel 2.55 comes along in a stunning metallic alligator version with matching dorseys… this combo does not need any futher description. Just let the breathtaking beauty settle in and see if you anything else to add after.

Chanel 2.55 Metallic Alligator Flap Bag

The Chanel Patent Double Flap Bag in beautiful, vibrant red, along with the Chanel Patent Wedge Sandals with metallic tips and CC detail are bound to steal the show. While I am not a big fan of the sandals, the bag with its chained leather strap and CC clasp atop the double flaps makes me like it even more.

Chanel Calfskin Double Flap Handbag

The slightly larger Chanel Patent Double Flap Bag comes in a metallic dark blue shade, while the Chanel Jewelry Belt with its metal, resin and pearl charms marks a wonderful addition to the fancy bag.

Lastly, the fine syndication between calfskin and lambskin makes this interesting Chanel Quited Shoulder Bag. The contrasting colors and the Chanel-typical quilt detail make this bag a winner in my book.

Chanel 2.55

There are two chanel 2.55 bags you need to know about, the Birkin is one and the other, the Chanel 2.55. A typical Chanel handbag you say? Well, helllooooo, it’s called an icon! History was made when Coco Chanel 2.55 introduced this bag in February 1955 (as in, 2.55). Coco wanted a shoulder bag to free up her hands. Hey, she had other things to carry. The quilts were inspired by jackets worn by jockeys (yes, jockeys). This classic is being reissued for this season in white, black and silver, which we love the most. For the collectors out there, this is a must.

Fashion Icon: Chanel 2.55 Handbag

We all love a nice handbag but the Chanel 2.55 is much more than that. The inspiration behind Coco Chanel's original design goes deeper than most of us realise. Female First look at the story behind one of our favourite ever handbags.

The chanel 2.55 bag was first introduced in February 1955- hence the name 2.55. Coco Chaneldesigned the bag for her own use so some of the features tell us a little bit about her lifestyle as the original fashionista.

When it was first brought out the Chanel 2.55 caused a stir amoungst the upmarket fashion lovers because it was one of the first to have a strap. Coco recognised that women on the go needed to have their hands free to hold glasses of champagne, eat canapes, read theatre programmes etc so the chain strap was added to make the chanel bag easy to carry on the shoulder.

But this isn't the only reason why the chanel 2.55 bag is such a fashion icon- it also tells the story of the life of Coco Chanel as she went from riches to rags and back again.

Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel was born the daughter of a doctor and a lawyer, Brigitte and JohanChanel. She devolped an interest in fashion from a very young age after her mother took various tailors and showed her around the land of clothing and needles. However her mother was killed in a bizaare boating accident, leaving Johan to take care of Coco and her brother, Lawrence on his own.

Johan couldn't get over the death of his wife and committed suicide six months later leaving Coco to the care of an orphanage. Following the tragic death of both her parents Coco became sad and withdrawn and in fact she didn't speak at all from her father's death until she was six. Her only comfort was the sketches she loved to do.

Coco's time in the orphanage had a big impact on her life and influenced her future designs. The double chain design of the shoulder strap strap was inspired by her memories of the children’s’ caretakers in the orphanage who would dangle keys from their waists.

KATE HUDSON CARRY A CHANEL GREY QUILTED BAG

CELEBRITIES WITH CHANEL PURSES

Tod’s may be a mainstay for Kate Hudson when it comes to on-screen accessory cameos, but it looks like one particular Chanel bags has made its way into Kate Hudson’s wardrobe. On the set of her upcoming movie, “Something Borrowed,” Hudson sported Chanel’s grey quilted bag from the Spring 2010 collection.

While I like the classic 2.55 quilted bag, this modern, not to mention larger, style is equally as striking–and very day appropriate. I’ve long admired this shape while shopping in the store and was always disappointed not to see more about town. If you can afford it and need a great everyday work bag, this is a seriously stylish option.

It’s extremely roomy and can easily fit files, magazines, newspapers and even a small Apple MacBook! Kate’s not a big bag girl, so I think it’s ironic that she’s always so accessorized in her movie roles–at least her sartorial choices are A-list all the way.

The brown/red colour on the inside of the chanel 2.55 bag in fact represents the colour of the uniforms Coco and the rest of the children had to wear in the orphanage.

It wasn't only Coco's childhood that went into her designing. The chanel 2.55 also has an secret compartment in the inside of the front flap and this is rumoured to be where Coco would keep her love letters during an affair she had with Nazi spy, Hans Gunther von Dincklage.

Another secret pocket is featured in the outside flap at the back of the chanel bag. This is where Coco would keep a little bit of extra money she wanted to stash away.

The quilted material from which the chanel bag was made was based on the coats worn by jockeys. It was believed that Coco was fascinated by horse racing and wanted to pay tribute to that in the very personal design of the chanel 2.55 bag.

Coco chose to close all her shops during the Second World War and took up residence in the Hotel Ritz in Paris throughout the fighting. It's rumoured that it was her relationship with Von Dicklage that allowed her to remain there.

When the war was over Coco and the Chanel brand struggled to make a come back in the fashion industry- mostly due to her romance with the Nazi but she continued to live in the Ritz for 30 years until she died in her private suite on January 10, 1971, at 87 years old.

Demi Moore and Chanel Timeless Clutch

Demi Moore and Chanel Timeless Clutch People all over the world are gossiping about sophisticated glamour on which Demi Moore is surely mentioned. You can tell not a single trace of torture by her middle age, especially when she is spotted with Ashton Kutcher, an much younger guy who is more like her little brother rather than husband. But I have to admit that the Chanel Timeless Clutch she is holding in the photo works out.

As the name suggests, this Chanel Clutch exudes a beauty of simplicity across time and space. The enchanting design makes it versatile for different women with different ensembles. It is made in the iconic quilting with exquisite details and intriguing silhouette. No extra ornamentals are decorated excerpt a clasp on the top which is definitely sophisticated.

Maybe her outfit is relatively dull and old-fashioned but the Chanel Purses makes all the difference. And of course, we shouldn’t ignore her cute husband on her other arm. After all, it is the cougar’s time now.

Since Coco's original design there have been many variations of the original design 2.55, including different colour leather/fabric, changes to the chain - metal vs. interwoven leather- and the fasten - mademoiselle vs. interlocking CC.

In 2005 Karl Lagerfeld revived the chanel 2.55 bag design exactly as Coco had made it for it's 50th anniversary and the new Reissue was even more popular than the original release.

Although Chanel 2.55 may just look like another designer chanel 2.55 bag each aspect of it's design contains a little part of the fashion icon that was Coco Chanel- therefore making it a true icon of fashion itself.
