Chanel Classic Flap VS Chanel Reissue 2.55

   Posted by: admin Tags: , ,

Among so many luxury brands, Chanel is the brand which has a huge spectrum of price from hundreds to many thousands of dollars. You can find Chanel bags anywhere you go. Why is so popular? Because quality and versatility are some innate features of these handbags which are made from some of the best fabrics available.

And for various new released handbags during these days, Chanel Classic Flap and the Chanel Reissue 2.55 bags rank the most popular handbags. But the two kinds seem so similar. Therefore, the question about the differences between them is asked very commonly. As the die hard of Chanel handbags, I also feel puzzled. Then after searching some informations on the internet, I educated myself and found the answers.

Firstly, the difference in history.The lock on the Reissue is the original lock, it is called the Mademoiselle Lock as Ms Coco Chanel never married, the ‘CC’ lock was introduced to the Classic Flap Bags only in the 1980s by designer Karl Lagerfeld. The 2.55 in its name refers to the first release of the 2.55 bag in February of 1955. And the 2.55 refers to all flap-style bags, including variations of the original! The term classic flap commonly refers to the flap with the interlocking CC closure and the leather interwoven chain.

Secondly, the difference in shape. Please let me summarize it as follows:

1. Closure/Locks: Classic has the double CC turn-style lock, the Reissue has the Mademoiselle lock (rectangular shape).
2. The handle: The reissue has an all chain handle, while the classic has leather interwoven between the chain links.
3. Reissue has a different type of leather, that is made to seem more worn than the caviar leather on the classics.
4. All the reissues have a double flap inside, whereas the Jumbo Classic does not.
5. The sizes on the Reissue are different than the sizes on the Classic Flaps.

Thirdly, the difference in size and price.

The Chanel Classic Flap Bag comes in three sizes:

Small – 9″ x 5.5″ x 2″ – $1,495.00 Caviar + $100.00 more for lambskin
Medium – 10″ x 6″ x 2.5″ – $1,595.00 Caviar + $100.00 more for the lambskin
Jumbo – 12″ x 8″ x 3″ – $1,695.00 Caviar + $100.00 more for the lambskin

The sizes for the Chanel Reissue 2.55:

$2,495 A302228: – The X-Large aka Jumbo 14.2″ x 9.8″ x 3″ (rare)
