Model History:<\/strong>
Created in February 1955 by Gabrielle Chanel, the 2.55 bag became one of the world’s most recognizable models. In the 1980s, Karl Lagerfeld revisited it, replacing the rectangular clasp with the emblematic CC clasp, while retaining the original architecture and codes. The model presented here, from the 1996-1997 production (series 4), perfectly illustrates this period when Coco’s legacy met Lagerfeld’s modernizing influence. At 23 cm, it is one of the most sought-after sizes for its practicality and aesthetic balance. <\/p>\n

Exterior Details:<\/strong>
Black lambskin leather has a smooth, slightly satin finish, with precise, even diamond quilting. The single flap closes with the famous CC gold-metal clasp. The gilded metal chain twisted with black leather is sturdy, fluid and perfectly proportioned. The bag also features a half-moon patch pocket on the back, true to the house’s classic designs. Its dimensions are approximately 23 cm wide, 14.5 cm high and 6.5 cm deep. <\/p>\n

Interior Details:<\/strong>
The interior is lined with burgundy leather, the visual signature of classic vintage Chanel bags. It includes a main compartment, a zipped pocket under the flap, and two small patch pockets. The interior is stamped with the CHANEL\u00ae logo and embossed double C, accompanied by a serial number matching the authenticity card. The interior organization allows functional use without compromising on elegance. <\/p>\n

Product Condition:<\/strong>
This bag is in very good condition for its age. The leather retains a nice homogeneity, with a few discreet wear marks on the flap, but no deep scratches. The padding remains well swollen, and the metal finishes retain a beautiful gilding with a slight natural patina. The interior is clean, with minor wear on the burgundy leather. The bag comes with all its original elements: box, black CHANEL dustbag and authenticity card. <\/p>\n

Care instructions:<\/strong>
To preserve the beauty of lambskin, avoid prolonged exposure to direct light or moisture. Store the bag in its original box or dustbag when not in use. Regular care with a nourishing lotion suitable for soft leather is recommended. If necessary, entrust cleaning to a luxury leather goods professional, especially for burgundy interior leather. <\/p>\n
