"Tired of carrying my bags by hand and losing them, I slipped a strap over them and slipped them over my shoulder.”
Gabrielle Chanel
A COUTURIÈRE’S HANDBAG
The CHANEL 2.55 handbag is sewn like a garment, from the inside-out, following the original principles created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1955. Worn over the shoulder, it was imagined to free the wearer’s hands and to follow the body’s movements.
