The Chanel 2.55 is not a bag, but a piece of history ..
The fruit of the genius of Mademoiselle Coco Chanel, the maverick ..
A word and a number who call sighs and wishes .. but also envy.
A true legend. The Chanel 2.55 is a passion and that's why I decided to take a trip on the history of this bag that has more than 55 years ...
History ...
The symbol indicates a 2:55 date: February 1955. Synthetic as Coco .. but many of you know this part of history ... right? :)
But very few know, however, because Coco realized this bag ..
Spirit free, independent and rebellious as the horses he loved riding in the great estate of Etienne Balsan, Gabrielle hated when hands are busy from any location .. and she, who has freed women from corsets tight could not even think about them free from the hassle of bags by hand?
begins to develop the idea of \u200b\u200ba practical bag, roomy and beautiful ..
began in the 30's and the project was done, precisely 50 years .. 1955 to be precise.
The idea? that was enough to hand her purse with long strap munirla .. but it was far more complicated, since the first 2:55 to Coco were horrible ...
and devoted years to get to perfection, and much love.
long years not only to make a bag .. but a symbol. Coco wanted to create not only a beautiful bag but wanted every woman who shows off his bag, scream to the world: I'm free!
The chain was a symbol of liberation, in fact, stated that he has chosen the chains for the simple reason that it reminded her of those key chains that used the caretakers of the orphanage where she grew up with her sister .. that's why the Chanel 2.55 is not just a bag, but a symbol of freedom 'WOMEN ..
But His fame exploded when 40 years ago, Karl Lagerfeld arrived at the house and decided to do a little restyling to the bag using two elegant double "C " on closing the chain and braided leather .. et voila ..
The bag's most beloved and desired is reborn!
It makes me wonder if the celebrities and starlets of the moment, which feature the 2:55 combined with faded jeans and flip flops, they know what is this symbol and how should this woman who was strardinaria Coco ..
Vabene Ok .. are nostalgic today:) ..
changing speech ..
Mitica and desired but also much imitated "counterfeit". Here's my advice if you thought the purchase of this symbol from unofficial sources .. internet, ebay etc. ...
The original Chanel 2.55 is accompanied by a card of authenticity that is the same for over 20 years .. the serial number inside the bag must match the card .. the two "C" in the flap model does not change, the intersection will be more than the right to pass on the left and bottom is the reverse.
As for the prices .... uhmm ..
The classic leather hammered from a minimum of 1,300 € to 2,000 € ..
while the jumbo price varies by model Approximately 2,300 to 2,500 ..
This new course.
Alternatively, you can find in vintage shops specialize ..
Here in Milan I know Franco Jacassi .. a store famous for the more attentive personal shopper and fashion of Italy ... It 's a show room with suits and smart accessories and high quality ..
Li, for sure you will always find a vintage Chanel 2.55 bag sale at prices affordable enough ..
Franco Jacassi you will find it in Via Sacchi 3, Milan, in a charming courtyard ' age in central Milan near Brera, near Piazza Carmine and "MARC JACOBS BOUTIQUE" ..
'm a fan of this shop .. I made several purchases.
can also buy it online .. :)
And finally, in this Paris Fashion Week, super limited edition, the Chanel 2.55 has been designed by the artist Kevin Lyons for Colette ..
the artist during an event at the famous concept store in Paris has "botched" the 2:55 with markers similar Univer Posca creating mouths, eyes, tongue and comics .. -style pop art.
The scholarships will be sold until stocks are exhausted to the store Colette ..
I added photos of this event at the end of this post ..
Well
I hope you enjoyed my post on the legendary 2:55
.. if you have any questions, tips .. I'm here ..
A big kiss ..
