The most popular Chanel handbag that goes up in price every year. Fashion gurus say it´s a good investment, because this shoulder bag will not lose its value.
So, why the price increase over the years? Because of the bag´s design, history and its exclusivity. The bag is called after the production date – February 1955. Chanel 2.55 is an initial debut. Rectangular shape, unique chain strap, hidden zippers and a Mademoiselle Turnlock —named so because Gabrielle never married. You will not find a new Chanel 2.55 bag on sales. Never and nowhere. Historically this bag was something new in making a modern and in some way “beginning to become more independent” woman. The new design allowed women to not only care bag in hands, but also wear it as a shoulder bag.
The price on Medium Chanel 2.55 went from 220 dollars in 1955 to over 6000 dollars in 2019. From selling a used 2.55, sellers promise at least 80 percent back of its cost.
