These are bags that are released with each season, but most do not return the next season. Fun fact: the 2.55 has a hidden inner pocket, where Coco Chanel allegedly kept her love letters from her lover! The 2.55 is much more popular in Europe than it is in America, but I think it is a timeless bag that is discreet and chic. The 2.55 features the original “mademoiselle lock” the CC cross latch was actually not released until the 80s. The original debuted in February 1955 hence the name 2.55. This bag was released in 2005 by Karl Lagerfeld to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Coco Chanel’s first bag. I don’t think there is a right or wrong version to purchase. Some prefer the single flap as it is a bit lighter, but others argue that the double flap helps keep the shape of the bag. Newer bags have a “double flap” which means there is a small flap inside the bag. These bags come in a variety of sizes from extra mini, mini square, small, medium, jumbo and maxi. If you are looking for a bag that will be a long term, safe investment then you should go with a classic flap bag, but certainly there are other options you can explore whether that be a seasonal bag, Boy Bag, Wallet on Chain, or a Gabrielle bag.

The initial price tag, however, can understandably feel daunting and knowing what to buy can be even more intimidating. A bag that I purchased in 2015 is now worth over $600 dollars more than I paid and I have enjoyed it for 4 years. Unlike the stock market, you are guaranteed to get your money back if you sell your Chanel bag in the future. Chanel bags retain their value incredibly well, since the brand notoriously raise the prices of their bags every 6-12 months, while largely keeping their designs the same. “Forget the stock market! Invest in Chanel” is an idiom I live by. Allegra Fanjul Garcia-Velez- Very Allegra Nicola Bathie McLoughlin-Nicola Bathie Jewelry Nicki Clendening-Scout Designs & BEETLE
