Named after the date that it was released (February 1955), the 2.55 is, perhaps, the most iconic of the Chanel handbag army. In fact, it might even be the most iconic bag in the world. It was popularized by Coco Chanel herself, initially designed for the working girl who needed to carry around a chic bag while keeping her hands free. Since then, though, it's been worn in every size and every colour of the rainbow by nearly all the girls to know and then some.
