Undisputedly one of fashion’s most coveted pieces, the Chanel Flap Bag is a timeless icon. Introduced in the 1950s as a breakthrough in designer handbags, the 2.55 Flap Bag dared to challenge women’s handbag norms by offering a shoulder strap in contrast to traditional handheld designs.
Making a case for women’s accessories to be both practical and stylish in equal measure, the Flap Bag captured the cultural zeitgeist with its design and approach to functionality—as more women moved into the workplace.
