I was reading a blog earlier and the girl had been to Paris and was a bit chocked over how many Chanel bags she saw people caring around .... and I started to wonder what was so chocking about it???
Ok, first we are talking about Paris and second we are talking about Chanel.
I look at it like this... the Parisian must carry Chanel like the swede carry H&M or decorating their home in IKEA.The Parisian have Coco Chanel and the swede have Ingvar Kamprad. When the swede were talking about the sofa Älmhult back in the days, the Parisian were talking about the 2.55.
Their 2.55 bag might have belong to their mother, aunt,grandmother ....the bag was release in february (2) 1955 (55) . Back then it didn't have the CC logo it was introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s. I love when things have a story like the design for 2.55. In the zipper compartment inside the bag on the front flap, Coco kept her love letters hidden because of her affair. Smart design move of her. Her inspiration for the bag come from her time at the orphanage.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. - Coco Chanel
