The Classic Chanel Quilted Handbag

Ooh la la¡­ The Chanel classic quilted handbag is true Parisian chic, it just
oozes class and sophistication and no matter what the current trends are,
has a classic timeless design that has lived through many a fashion era.
There's something about that soft stitched leather and gold metal chain
that has created a signature style icon for women all over the world.

So let's go back in time to when it first began¡­

In 1955, Chanel introduced the Classic Quilted bag with the shoulder strap,
THE bag that shook the fashion world. It became so popular the first year
she had to decline numerous requests due to the lack of time to
painstakingly manufacture each one by her skilled artisans. The bag is
known in industry shorthand as the 2.55, after the month and year it was
introduced.

Chanel's signature quilted fabric has a "secret" quilting pattern sewn at the
back to keep the material strong. This material is used for clothing and
accessories alike.

Throughout the key fashion decades, the Chanel 2.55 handbag
miraculously hasn't changed much. Unlike other fashion design houses who
have altered their bag styles to appeal to the temporary whimsical
demands of fashion trends, the Classic Chanel 2.55 has stood it's ground.
In fact, in 2005, the fashion house celebrated by re-releasing the classic
just as it was.

The classic Chanel bag will never die. The latest versions out this year of
this classic bag are awe striking in lambskin and ostrich leather.

Can you believe that this bag is over 50 years old?
