Full length newspaper feature on the iconic 2.55

Thanks for posting!

The first thing that came to my mind was 2.55 is not a classic flap! I don't know why so many people mix up a 2.55 with a classic flap :confused1: Coco Chanel designed a flap bag (which is the reissue) on February 1955, thus, the name for it :yes: Anniversary reissues have the signature "2.55 to 2005" to celebrate the decade old creation. The classic flaps with leather interwoven chains were first introduced by Karl Lagerfield years after the 2.55. I forgot the particular year that the classic flaps first launched though :shame: Maybe Nat or Mon might know!
 
dangergirl: really? you mean buying chanel in US is at least 2 times cheaper? I've heard of ladies in sg going to Paris or France to buy, and manage to get the bag at about SGD$600 cheaper. If US is really cheaper, oh yeah, US I'm coming for you >_<
 
Wow, that's REALLY awful. Why do they do that? Isn't it the Chanel store policy and also the region's spending power? I have no clue and won't even try anymore but that's awful.

Order from Ebay, get it insured, and have it mailed to you.

A reissue in 228 as you say I can find here for 3000 USD...
