The bag is called 2.55 because it have been released from since February 1955 by Coco Chanel. Obviously the bag have a very rich history and have gone through many changes. Still upon today, it’s the ‘IT’ bag, the Chanel ‘Classics’ and ‘Timeless’. In February 2005, Karl Lagerfeld re-made the 2.55 as Coco Chanel had made in 1955. The name Reissue is used to commemorate the original design of the bag.
