Chanel 2.55 Reissue 227 Black. Authentic & Timeless!!!

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 burgandy lambskin, and has a double flap. The Bijoux chain is intricately etched and can be worn double or single strap. Interior features two compartments. The 227 version, or the "jumbo" version of this flap bag is 12 inches wide and is the largest size of the three main sizes of this bag. This item is in excellent condition with very few signs of normal use. Corners are pretty clean with no noticeable signs of rubbing or scuffing. Hardware is lightly worn but note the hardware is intended to look aged as well. The interior is clean. This beautiful bag has not been used in a few years and has been sitting bagged and boxed on a closet shelf. Base length: 12.25 in Height: 7.5 in Width: 4 in Drop: 11.25 in Drop: 19.75 in
