The history of Chanel’s bag traced back to the 1920’s. In that era, lady’s bags were carried in arms and Coco Chanel wanted a bag that can be carried on shoulder. The prototype was introduced in 1929.

With her success of coming-back to the fashion industry in 1954, Coco Chanel updated the handbag line: the 2.55 which also known as the Reissue Flap that we see today.
