Questions About 1950s Chanel Handbag
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    While the oldest Chanel handbag isn’t the 2.55, this celebrated mid-century accessory is an iconic vintage bag from the brand. Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel began to design handbags during the 1920s. The 2.55 debuted much later, in February 1955. Its design was a landmark in the history of handbags because it featured a shoulder strap for easy carrying (the clutch was the prevailing style in handbags back then). On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of vintage Chanel bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    In the 1950s, a Chanel bag was priced between $200 and $300. The iconic Chanel 2.55 bag cost $220 when first introduced in February 1955.
