Coco Chanel revolutionised the fashion world with her timeless style that combined elegance and comfort. She was known for liberating women from the restrictive dresses of the time and offering them a new, more modern silhouette. Chanel bags are among the fashion house's most important creations, especially the Chanel 2.55, which was launched in February 1955. This bag was one of the first to feature a shoulder strap, which made it particularly practical.
