It was February 1955 when Chanel introduced the first-ever ladies’ chain bag, and it was named after its birth month and year – 2.55.
The world seemed so divided, with some struggling for their lives and others vying for this first ladies’ chain bag.
Yet the world also seemed not always divided; the entire world chased after that chain bag.
From 1955 until now, almost 70 years have passed. During this time, it was once discontinued, then miraculously revived, and the person who revived it has already left this world.
A truly classic bag, spanning several generations, consistently radiating new life. Perhaps this is the best validation of Coco’s famous saying.
“Fashion fades, style remains”.
The design of this handbag reflects Coco Chanel’s unique aesthetic perspective and personal experiences. For instance, the bag’s chain strap was inspired by her childhood memories of seeing nuns carrying keychains in the convent. The concealed pocket inside the bag was intended for keeping her own private items. Additionally, the square pattern on the bag symbolizes the windows of the orphanage where she spent her childhood.
