Code Name : 11.12 Chanel

A reinterpretation of the legendary 2.55 bag, created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1955, this accessory inherits the genes of its distinguished predecessor. Today, while lambskin remains a classic, alongside the “caviar”grain calf leather, materials such as jersey, tweed, velvet, denim, silk, or patent leather enrich this model’s material palette. With seven pockets, it allows for storing a lipstick in a specially designed compartment, cards or a compact in two gusseted pockets, and love letters in the zipped pocket dubbed “the secret”. Two other larger pockets add practicality, while the last, known as the “smile pocket” by Chanel’s leather goods workshops, is displayed on the back of the bag.
