Medium Double Flap Bag Aubergine

We Love: Soft lambskin in "Aubergine"

About: The debut of the double flap bag revolutionized fashion history. Until the first bag appeared, they were carried by hand and cumbersome. The double flap bag was not only a style revolution, but also the first bag with a strap that made it easier to carry. After its debut, it soon became a sign of social status for women to carry a bag over their shoulder.
The first Chanel handbag was introduced in 1929. The first models had a flap, but it wasn't until 1955 that Chanel recognized the advantages of a bag with a strap. From then on, the model became known and popular as the classic Double Flap Bag. With Karl Lagerfeld in the early 1980s, the 2.55 was given a new look. The inconspicuous Mademoiselle clasp gave way to the striking CC closure, making the Classic Flap Bag an icon. Various sizes of the Classic Flap Bag were produced, and depending on the format, it was available as a Double or Single Flap. The Single Flap is no longer manufactured today. The lining is no longer just classic burgundy, and the bag is available in many colors and signature materials like tweed.
