2.55, named after the design time of February 1955, and behind this bag is COCO Chanel's cry to the fashion world, most luxury brands are based on the birth history or animals as classic design elements, such as hermes's harness history, LV's travel history, CARTIER's leopard, BVLGARI's snake, GUCCI's tiger, The European Unification Royal Favorite Bee, etc., Chanel did not use these, but designed with the real feelings in her bones:
The design of 2.55 is a reflection of COCO Chanel's childhood in the orphanage, where she is alone, facing the cold world, and becomes her lifelong memory.
Double chains and metal chains for bags: chains from orphanage nuns used to tie keys to their waists.
Crimson interior: The Burgundy red hue in the bag is the uniform color of the orphanage, which was the uniform of the orphans at that time;
Dark clip design: The double lid design also has its careful thoughts, the first cover above has a zippered dark clip, which is where Coco collects his love letters, and the small clip on the back of 2.55 is what Coco uses to store change;
Classic diamond motif: is the element of seeing the uniform coat of the equestrian man of your choice;
Metal rectangular clasp: named "Mademoiselle Lock", translated as "Miss's Lock", representing Coco's lifelong unmarried, so for the rest of his life will be called Miss Coco Chanel;
The main color of black: because she said that she wants to exist in the future, she wants to let Chanel's elegant style last forever in the era of fleeting fashion, and black is a color that will never go out of style, just like Yohji Yamamoto's evaluation of black: black is to express "I don't bother you, you don't bother me".
A lot of people fall in love with Chanel not because it's the world's top designer bag, but because I'm in love with the desirable history hidden behind it, it's like a woman with a story, what about you? Why did you fall in love with Chanel?
