What is the classic Chanel bag called?
The classic Chanel bag is called the 2.55 Flap Bag. Its name is a nod to February 1955 when Coco Chanel first introduced the now iconic bag. When it debuted, the 2.55 Flap Bag was the first handbag to feature a shoulder strap, and it went on to influence handbag designs for decades to come.
