How Classic Chanel Flap Bags are made

Before I have introduced so many kinds of Chanel Flap Bag to you and this time I would like to tell you how it is made. Some people dream of years of having a Chanel Classic Flap Bag, including me, while fortunately some already have. Whatever, let us firstly get to know its making process.

One Chanel 2.55 handbag is made by six people and it will take two and half hours to finish. The total making process takes 180 steps. Many hand-made mock-ups are firstly produced and then it always takes around a week to make a final decision about choosing a final prototype and its exact proportions and stitching details.

Before the bag can be made, the leather must be prepared, it is cut from the skin by hand or by computer, and then it is machine-stitched, trimmed and finished. Most of the time is spent on the table, when craftsmen try to produce an item of luxury and turn each bag inside out and back again, for they just want to make sure the inside is as good as the outside. At last, they add some beautiful accessories to make it more wonderful.

This Lucky Charms is made out of lovely distressed leather and features leather-lined interior foldover flap with magnetic snap closure. Like Chanel 2.55, it is also measured at 9.5 x 6.5 x 3 inches with underside zip pocket and rear patch pocket. With the signature Chanel chain-link shoulder strap, it could be carried in the hands or over the shoulder.

Many handbags which were once popular in the fashion tide have disappear, while some classic are everlasting, and Chanel 2.55 is just this type which are the necessary collection and pursuit for every woman, as bag to woman is like automobile to man acting huge magic.

Launched in February 1955, Chanel 2.55 is well-known for its simplicity and elegance and still remains stylish as it was launched more than 50 years ago. There is a long story to describe the original 2.55. It features the 2.55 front lock on the front, named “the Mademoiselle Lock“, is different from the classic double CC logo and the lining’s brown color which shows the color of the uniforms from the convent where she grew up. As Coco Chanel liked to hide her love letters from her lover at that time, there is a zippered compartment at the inside of the front flap. And Ms Chanel stashed extra money at the back outside flap on the handbag. That is why she designed this kind of handbag.

In fall 2005, Karl Lagerfeld re-released the Chanel 2.55 in order to celebrate its 50th anniversary, and the new design feature a turn clasp instead of the CC clasp which is more appealing.
