Bad news: the Chanel Reissue Flap Bag is no longer available in Chanel stores. Good news: it’s available during all seasons as part of an extensive collection of high-quality designer replica handbags. Read on for a short history of this celebrated Chanel purse.
The 2.55 in the Chanel handbag name refers to the maiden release of the bag in February 1955. It’s the banner term for all the flap-style bags. The style visionaries at Chanel have done many innovations to the original 2.55, including the Chanel Reissue Flap Bag. The Reissue was launched in February 2005. Karl Lagerfeld, exactly 50 years after the creation of the 2.55 by Coco Chanel, came up with the Reissue to celebrate the anniversary.
Only the Reissues made in 2005 are the real Reissues. One of the Chanel bag’s most inviting features is the Mademoiselle lock, called as such because Coco Chanel never married. It is a twist to the original Chanel bag lock.
The Reissue also has double chain shoulder straps. This feature is once again connected to Coco’s reality: at the orphanage where she grew up, the caretakers would usually dangle keys using the same metal chain type.
Chanel replica handbags allow you to experience the beauty of a Chanel Reissue Flap Bag – the same genuine quilted calfskin leather, flap closure, mademoiselle lock, and chain straps at only a fraction of the cost of an authentic Chanel. Keep posted for more designer handbag tips and reviews here!
