I was on a classic/reissue flap strike due to the numerous and excessive price increases. However, I fell in love with this bag and splurged. Hard to capture the beautiful iridescent color.

Does anyone know why all the 2.55 purses come flat and need to be puffed out?…it just doesn’t make sense to me.
I'm sure there are members who may know better, but I believe it comes that way because Karl Lagerfeld found the 2.55 in the archives and it was flat. He resurrected the style and brought it back into production and wanted it to be true to how it was.

I thought it was bc they are meant to be ultimate convenience and can even be folded for travel

Congrats on your finds! Do you find the dusty pink or lilac more wearable?
Thank you! I think this depends on your wardrobe and colour palette. The dusty pink leans more on the cool/neutral side so I would say it is more versatile/wearable. The lilac is definitely a pop of colour for me but it is also one of my favourite colours so I love it even if it requires more planning to wear.
