Which Chanel bag is considered the Classic?
1 Answer
The Chanel bag considered the Classic is a 1983 reissue of the iconic 2.55 bag, which debuted in 1955. Karl Lagerfeld oversaw the redesign, which is known as the Chanel Classic Flap bag, and his take on Coco Chanel's acclaimed accessoryfeatured an interlocking CC turn-lock instead of the traditional Mademoiselle lock. Crafted from top-quality materials, Chanel's elegant purses are coveted not only for their timelessness but also for their high resale value. The brand's best-known bag, the Classic Double Flap bag, includes Chanel's signature quilting and leather interlaced through a chain strap. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Chanel handbags.
