What is Chanel?
CHANEL is a brand founded by its founder Coco Chanel in 1910.
It all started when she opened a hat shop called "Chanel Mode" in Paris, and from there she gained fame and established herself.
The brand introduced styles that were considered taboo at the time, such as pants styles for women, dresses made from easy-to-move-in jersey, and the little black dress, and despite facing backlash, it has revolutionized women's fashion.
The history of Chanel bags begins in the 1920s, when the company created the shoulder bag with the concept of making a bag that would allow women to keep their hands free.
Later, the design was updated to create an elegant shoulder bag with a chain, which became a timeless classic called "2.55."
Chanel's classic bags
Here we will introduce some of the most representative Chanel bags.
2.55 Handbag

The first Chanel clutch bag was released in February 1955 as the "2.55".
The plump quilted design is gorgeous, and the contrast with the gold chain makes this a beautiful piece.
In the 1920s, handbags with short handles were the norm for women, but Chanel's founder, Coco Chanel, created the bag that would become the predecessor to the 2.55, so that "women could have both hands free."
This updated version from there: The 2.55 comes with a chain that can be hung from the shoulder, allowing both hands to move freely.
There is also a pocket on the inside, which is very convenient for storing small items. (Apparently, there is even a pocket for storing love letters from your partner.)
Highly praised for its high-quality design and advanced convenience, the 2.55 became a trend symbolizing the 1950s and remains a popular item today.
Classic Bag (aka Classic Matelasse)

The Classic bag is a chain bag with diamond-shaped quilting and woven leather straps.
When Karl Lagerfeld became Chanel's designer, he replaced the iconic bag that had been the This bag was created as a tribute to the "2.55".
" The differences between this and the 2.55 are the leather cord woven into the chain, the double C on the front, and the so-called "Coco Mark" shaped metal fittings.
Even today, it remains the king of Chanel bags and exudes the elegant aura that is so characteristic of Chanel.
A wide range of sizes are available, with the most popular being the "Matelasse 25."
It can hold a wallet, smartphone, pouch, etc., and is perfect as an accent for your outfit.
It's just the right size, so it doesn't take up much space and is easy to store.
The materials used vary greatly depending on the type, including lambskin, caviar skin, tweed, etc., so we recommend choosing according to your preference or using different materials for different seasons or occasions.
It is known as Chanel's iconic bag, and is a dream bag that any Chanel fan would want to own someday.
Mini flap bag (also known as mini matelasse)

The mini flap bag is an even more compact version of the Matelasse item.
The three most popular sizes are mini, square, and extra mini.
All the sizes are small, so they are recommended for those who want to keep their belongings compact.
Many people use it as an accent in their outfits, giving it a moderate sense of luxury and showing great taste.
Many people say that it is easy to purchase because it is more reasonably priced than regular Matelasse, and many people buy it as a gift for special people as well as a reward for themselves.
In addition, with the rise in minimalist-oriented people recently, mini flap bags that fit when you only have a small amount of luggage are in high demand and are said to be difficult to obtain.
Coco Handle

The Coco Handle is a relatively new model that was launched in 2015.
The quilted design and braided chain strap give it the luxury that is typical of Chanel, giving it an air of a "new classic."
The rounded handle fits comfortably in your hand, and the cute, round design is a distinctive feature.
There are four sizes: mini, small, medium, and large.
The mini is the smallest size, so many people use it as an accessory, while the small size is known as the standard size as it is perfect for everyday use.
The medium is a slightly larger size perfect for short trips, while the large is the largest size and is perfect for days when you need to carry a lot of luggage.
The appeal of this product is its timeless design that can be used for a long time, and many users say they want to purchase it as a lifetime item.
However, it is also known as a model that is difficult to purchase, and it is considered extremely lucky if you come across it in a store, so if you want to buy one, it is recommended that you either keep going back to the store or look for it on the second-hand market.

BOY CHANEL is Chanel's first item with a boyish element.
This bag was made during the Karl Lagerfeld era in 2011 and was named after Arthur Capel, Coco Chanel's lover.
Although the romance between Coco Chanel and Arthur Capel sadly came to an end, this name is very memorable and romantic for Coco Chanel.
Chanel had an image of being feminine and luxurious, but BOY CHANEL's innovative ideas of being cool and classic became a hot topic and quickly became popular.
It goes well with denim and leather jackets, and is recommended for those who like or want to try a masculine, avant-garde style.
