Nothing says ‘classic style’ more than a Chanel Quilted 2.55 Handbag:
The $1500 bag is steeped in a storied history. The bag was introduced by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in February 1955 (which explains the number 2.55), and contains design elements that reflect Coco’s upbringing in an orphanage. The double chains represent the key chains of orphanage caretakers; the diamond quilting corresponds to the orphanage windows; and the red color inside matches that of the guard’s uniforms. Now you can wear the bag with just about anything–it’s undeniably chic!

I’ve undeniably fallen in love with this bag and my goal is to save up enough to buy a medium black caviar classic flap bag by the end of next year.
It will be my first Chanel!

I had this bag in a cream color bequeathed to me by my granny. She was given that bag by her boss, a French aristocrat. It exudes class.
