Chanel's It Bag, the 2.55
I'm not typically a big designer bag person; let's be honest, it's obviously partially because I can't afford them, but also because they don't necessarily intrigue me. This is the only bag that I've dreamt of for a long time. Therefore, it gets an honorable mention, and a few interesting facts for your reading pleasure.
Between six and 15 people work on each bag, using only the softest skin from the belly of the lamb
Its name is a reference to February 1955, the date of its first sartorial splash
The seven pockets include an inner one that Chanel intended to be solely for love letters
The gentle curve of the outer back pocket was inspired by the Mona Lisa, Chanel’s favourite painting
The signature Chanel Cs date back to a pattern in a cathedral’s stained-glass windows.
