Especially for this Reissue 2.55 model, Boutique Patina deliberately only selects and lists reissue models that are clean and crisp on the edges, with a nice crease on the bottom, no creases on the front or back panels as are common with the majority of these bags on the market. Over time, this condition is harder and harder to source, especially from an era where craftsmanship was superior.

The reissue ligne is known and coveted by Chanel lovers as the original Chanel classic model, before the interlocking CC's were released. The rectangular mademoiselle lock, quilted aged calfskin and aged bijoux chain are hallmarks of this original.

The classic 2.55 reissue flap is the first classic flap made by Coco Chanel. Hailed by enthusiasts, it's released season after season, first made in 1955. It is called the "reissue" because Karl Lagerfeld released the model again in 2005, 50 years after its inception by Gabrielle Chanel.

The bag comes deliberately folded/creased at the bottom and in aged calfskin with aged hardware. Interior is lined in lambskin, and has a double flap.

Bijoux chain is intricately etched and can be worn double or single strap. Interior features two compartments.

In black aged calfskin and aged ruthenium hardware.

In the 226 size, this item spans 11 inches wide. The most popular size. Retails $10,800 plus tax in the U.S.
