The Chanel Classic Flap Bag is what Chanel stands for. Not only is this bag a classic, but every details of the design is timeless. From all the handbags in Chanel’s assortment, the Classic Flap Bag is one of the most sought after by shoppers all around the world.

The story started in 1983, Karl Lagerfeld was named the Artistic Director of Chanel. But do note that Chanel wasn’t as popular as today, so Karl did a great work of putting this Fashion House on the global map.
The Chanel Reissue Bag is created by the original founder Coco Chanel. Since then there were a lot of modified versions put on the market. In fact, there were so many that it became complicated. So Karl Lagerfeld decided to discontinued them all and created one ‘perfect’ flap bag that ultimately became the trademark of this brand. This bag is the Chanel Classic Flap Bag.

While Coco Chanel designed the ‘mademoiselle lock’, it was Karl Lagerfeld who made the interlocking CC Closure. Basically, the Chanel Classic Flap Bag is the next generation of the first Chanel Reissue Bag and it went straight to become part of the ‘Timeless Classic Collection’ or the ‘Permanent Collection’.

The fame of the Chanel Classic Flap Bag is unbelievable. It has touched millions of people around the world and despite of the steep price increases every year, the amount of people wanting to buy this bag keeps increasing. So it’s recession-free, price-increase-free and we think it’s even a better investment than the stock market.

Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bags in Gold & Silver Hardware

Chanel Reissue 2.55 Bag Prices in Euro

In February 1955, Gabrielle Coco Chanel introduced the Chanel 2.55 Bag. It was the day that a legend was born. Every part of this bag was designed with a reason. Some was created because she was inspired, other parts are made because she thinks it would fit better for a woman. The Chanel 2.55 Bag was actually born because Coco Chanel was tired of carrying a bag on her hands or arms. She wanted a hands-free handbag so that you can do other things with your hands.

The beautiful chain on the Chanel 2.55 Bag looks like a necklace, it’s represents the love that she has for jewelry. It needed a double chain to make it easier to sling on the shoulder or your arms. The brownish lining has the same color like the uniform at the orphanage, the place where Coco Chanel grew up. A zip pocket is hidden inside the flap, some say it’s where Coco Chanel hides her love letters. The famous lock on the bag is named the Mademoiselle Lock and it is reference to Coco Chanel for never marrying. The quilting was inspired by the quilted jackets of the Jockey players.

Karl Lagerfeld re-made the original 2.55 Bag exactly how Coco Chanel designed it in 1955. He released it in February 2005 to celebrate the Chanel 2.55 Bag’s 50th year anniversary. Then the Chanel Bag 2.55 Reissue Bag was born. Reissue was added because it means a new issue of the bag.

Chanel Classic Boy Bag Prices in Euro

We clearly remember the moment when the first Chanel Boy Bag came into our life because it was around that time that Bragmybag was born.

The story started in 2012, the Chanel Boy Bag was presented during the runway and then released in the Spring 2012 Collection. The Boy Bags of today weren’t like the first-editions. This image will show you what we mean:

It wasn’t quilted, the Boy Clasp had a round design in the center and on the side, you could find the CHANEL logo. The fashion world took notice of the Boy Bag and Karl Lagerfeld re-designed it several times afterwards. The logo on the back was removed and the Boy Clasp is a bit classier today. Then finally, another iconic bag emerged; the Chanel Quilted Boy Bag is added to the ‘Permanent Collection’.

The Chanel Boy Quilted Bag has a different look than the Classic Flap Bag and the Reissue 2.55 Bag. It’s stronger, sharper and bolder. The name ‘Boy’ is the perfect clarification of the design, with large and louder chains, and masculine elements; it became a bag that everyone desired.

Iconic bags are made out of history, stories and inspirations and there are more to tell. Just like the other classic bags, the Chanel Boy Bag was inspired by Coco Chanel’s playfulness with masculine style. Karl Lagerfeld explained it more clearly: ‘Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses, she had this boyish attitude and it is the very spirit of Chanel’.

Then Karl Lagerfeld was asked about the name ‘Boy Bag’, he said: ‘The boyish attitude, she’d picked it up from Boy Cape;, the great love of her life…Indeed, the bag’s called Boy Chanel’.
