The Chanel Classic Double Flap bag is a timeless icon that transcends generations and trends. First launched in February 1955 by Coco Chanel, the original bag, known as the 2.55, revolutionized the fashion world by introducing a chain strap, allowing women to wear the bag over their shoulders, freeing them from the traditional handbag.
In 1983, Karl Lagerfeld, then creative director of Chanel, reimagined the classic 2.55, adding the famous “CC” clasp and creating the model we now know as the Classic Double Flap. The design retains the double interior, with the inner flap providing extra security and elegant organization.
The Jumbo version of the Classic Double Flap, crafted from caviar leather, combines luxury with durability. Caviar leather is known for its grainy texture, which offers scratch resistance and a sophisticated shine, making the bag a practical and elegant choice for everyday wear.
