Chanel 2.55 - The story of a Lady
was born in Paris in February 1955 (hence its name) by the revolutionary hand of Miss Coco. Came to light in order to be loved by women "modern" that after having banished from their closets the bodices, and after discovering the elegance hidden in the folds of a suit dreamed of being able to free from bondage his own hands. Miss Coco gave them a shoulder strap, a simple chain combined with a bag in black calfskin. And the dream became reality. 2:55 As each child also bears part of the spirit and history of women who gave her life: her dark maroon interior is a tribute to the uniforms of the orphanage where Gabrielle had spent most of his childhood as well as the chain that wanted to bring to mind the key custodians of that place.
the late eighties, this young woman he met on his way to the inspiration of Mr. Karl was enriched with the double C on the closure and a strip of skin between the chain links.
Today, after blowing up cinquantesei candles, is a wonderful lady. With the passing of time has charm, character and personality. He crossed decades, has walked hundreds of catwalks, posed for countless photos, has seen the birth and death of fashions and trends, real or fake. Has adapted to the changing seasons, like any self-respecting woman, color, shape, habit. But it remains in my heart, always the same. Elegant, understated, chameleon. Perfect in every place. At all times.
Some little advice for the purchase - in case you want to search the Internet for your 2:55 is good to know that a few small "trick" to recognize a fake. The rumble of the skin should fit perfectly between di loro e devono essere in numero dispari . Ogni borsa Chanel è accompagnata da una card di autenticità (le stesse da 25 anni!!!): il numero di serie riportato su quest'ultima deve corrispondere a quello posto all'interno della borsa. La sovrapposizione delle due C nel modello Flap di Karl Lagerfeld avviene sempe nello stesso modo: nell'intersezione superiore sarà la destra a passare sopra la sinistra; in quella inferiore avverrà il contrario. Buona ricerca mie care!!!
