When did Chanel start making quilted bags?
1 Answer
Chanel started making quilted bags in the 1950s (Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel had been making handbags since the 1920s, but following WWII, she began to create quilted bags in a focused manner). The French luxury fashion house's signature diamond quilting debuted on its 2.55 Flap bag, which was introduced in February of 1955. Since the debut of the 2.55, Chanel's quilting has become iconic and now appears on many of its bags. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Chanel handbags.
