Portero.com just launched a sale of gently used Chanel bags – the handbags will surely move quickly so make sure you check out the sale soon! The cost of Chanel bags can be way out of your league so this may be a good way to enter the market. Happy Shopping!
I recently came across an informative article that goes over the history of the iconic Chanel 2.55 Handbag and all of the details, and the inspiration behind them on Fashion Pearls of Wisdom.
The writer takes us through her most recent find of an original Chanel 2.55 bag from the 1950s-1960s that was designed by Mademoiselle Chanel herself. So gorgeous! She then details the differences between the original bag (“reissue”) and the handbag that Karl Lagerfeld tweaked in the 1980s (“classic”). Both bags are still available today and have very subtle differences.
Finally, the writer gives us tips on how to spot a fake – very helpful clues. I still don’t have a 2.55 bag and it’s on the top of my wish list but now I would love to get my hands on an original designed by Coco herself.
