Chanel 2.55 Reissue Flap Bag | 32×24×12cm

Chanel 2.55 Reissue Flap Bag — The Original. Reborn.

The Chanel 2.55 Reissue Flap Bag is fashion history you can hold in your hands. Named for the date of its creation — February 1955 — this is the bag that Coco Chanel herself designed: the very first version that freed women from hand-held clutches and gave them a chain to wear on their shoulder. The Reissue is its faithful recreation, restored to Coco’s original vision in every detail.

February 1955: The Moment Everything Changed

In February 1955, Coco Chanel introduced a bag unlike anything that had come before: quilted, chained, and crafted for a woman on the move. It was practical, it was elegant, and it was revolutionary. Karl Lagerfeld reintroduced it as the Reissue in 2005 to mark the 50th anniversary — and today, it remains one of the most deeply meaningful and historically significant bags ever made.

What Makes the 2.55 Reissue Different

• ★ Mademoiselle lock — not the CC clasp; the original 1955 closure designed by Coco herself
• ★ All-chain strap — no leather weaving; authentic to the 1955 prototype
• ★ Burgundy interior — Coco’s personal color, a quiet signature that collectors recognize
• ★ Aged calfskin and distressed hardware — a deliberately vintage finish with timeless depth

February 1955. The month Coco changed fashion forever. This bag remembers.
