Did you know? Issue 5-2: Chanel: 2.55 reissue and classic flap

Hello hello
This is the second series to the previous post titled [1] Did you know? Issue 5: Chanel: 2.55 original
l'm sorry that my previous post has a really weird font because I was actually typing my post in Word, obviously that wasn't a brilliant move on my part. haha. Anyways, this post is going to be about the reissue and classic flap.




Initially, I wanted to create an entire post dedicated to the Chanel 2.55 but I soon realized that was absolutely crazy because it's got such a rich history that it's only right to seperate and give a deserving individual blog post to them. The reason why I've decided to combine the 2.55 reissue and classic flap together was because the previous post was more about the history and beginning of the two.
Okay, this [Did you know] is going to be somewhat fragmented because afterall, they ARE two different bags.

Here comes the [DID YOU KNOW]

Did you know that this was version of the 2.55 is actually known as Karl Lagerfeld's reissue Chanel 2.55 bag? Marking the 50th anniversay of the 2.55 in 2005, Karl Lagerfeld revived the design as Mademoiselle Chanel had made it with the signature Mademoiselle lock. It had proved quickly that it was timeless design and still stands strong as a classic luxury today. See the second picture? This is the second [Did you know], In the early 1980s, Karl Lagerfeld introduced the CC clasp which represented the house of Chanel. Similarly, this bag also has the double chain but what makes this different is the leather weaving through the chain. The CC clasp proved to be an instant sensation, this is now known as the classic flap.

It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.- Coco Chanel

I find it incredibly fascinating that there's an element of surprise in these timeless bags, just when you think it can't get any better, Karl Lagerfeld introduces the 2.55 reissue and classic flap. Isn't it amazing that the 2.55 has somewhat stand the test of time and proven that it is here to stay indefinitely. Design is about taking a risk, taking a chance to do something daring, beat the odds and stand the test of time. To be eternal and everlasting.

Good luck
