Chanel Reissue 2.55 WOC

“Chanel Reissue 2.55” the term that gets implanted in your brain cells forever and you can’t even deny its existence. Not only the vintage hunters are thrilled, but also other fashionistas feel enlivened if their beloved Chanel has something special for them. These so-called ‘reissue’ bags are those incredible bags of Chanel that are alive with their own history.

Struck by a fascinating idea and inspired by the then soldiers’ bags, Coco introduced the free-up-your-hands strap bag in the 1920s. After that, when her brand made a successful comeback in 1954, she debuted one of the most precious and timeless piece of the history of handbags. February 1955 was iconic for its own reasons, marking the creation of 2.55 bags. These handbags, since the 1980s, undergo a lot of changes, being modified in its design, color, fabric, straps and locks, thus resulting in something newer to charm the crowd.

The story is such, that these ‘reissue ‘handbags were like an exact imitation of 2.55 bags in February 2005, just a reintroduction of 2.55 bags on its 50th anniversary, and Bam! The crowd was crazy to have these babies in their collection, especially to flaunt their love for the brand.

If we talk about the inspiration behind Coco’s genius mind than you’d be awestruck for a moment. No! For real, the double chain shoulder strap was derived from the childhood orphanage where she grew up, mainly from the caretaker’s chain used to secure keys at the waist. When love was in the air and Coco needed a secret pocket to squash her love letters, she introduced a hidden zippered compartment on the inside of the front flap in this reissue. You would be wondering about that brownish-red interior! Why only this color? Well, the color represents her school uniform in her then convent. To stash extra money Coco adorned these with a back outside flap pocket. This Reissue 2.55 WOC just like its bigger sister, is one of the most classic bags you can find in the fashion world.
