# Chanel 2.55 \- Pure Classic ...

Mention the label **Chanel **and the first thing that comes to mind is the word "**classic**".

In celebration of the fashion company's **50th anniversary**, the **Chanel 2.55 handbag **was re-released. The bag is named such because it was first launched in February of 1955 – can you even imagine how long ago that was?

First, check out how the **original Chanel bag **looked:
The lining:

First, the brown lining of the bag represents the color of the uniforms worn in the convent where **Coco Chanel** grew up.
The inside compartment

The inside compartment has a **romantic background**: the zippered compartment at the inside of the front flap is where Coco Chanel hid her love letters from her lover at that time, lol…
The Backside:

The backside was used by the bag's designer to stash her extra cash.
The shoulder strap:

The shoulder strap represents the chain which was worn by the caretakers at the orphanage, where the keys that they have dangled from.
The front lock:
