Why is Chanel 2.55 iconic?
The Chanel 2.55 bag is iconic because it has been a favorite luxury handbag for women around the world since 1955. Its flap closure, chain strap and diamond-quilted leather exterior are timeless details. When the bag debuted, it was the first-ever Chanel bag to include a shoulder strap.
