Rude Games For Parties

Chanel 2.55. A word and a number who call sighs and wishes. Not just a bag, but the symbol of elegance, femininity, allure that probably no other bag can play it in a word, a true legend. The Chanel 2.55 is a passion for many of us. So we decided to take a trip through the history of this scholarship, a history that has come so far, more than 55 years after his birth.

History How many of you know the symbol indicates a 2:55 date: February 1955 . A name very synthetic and essential, as was the custom in all things for Coco Chanel. But the inspiration behind the concept of this bag was born much earlier, even in the '30s. An idea of \u200b\u200bthe stock market in line with the concept of fashion Coco Chanel with whom he founded an empire. Do not forget that we are talking about the woman who has removed the constraint of the BC , and first brought the suit as a leader: a dress elegant, but simple and above all, comfortable, sewn on a free and independent woman. The concept was born of 2:55 on this principle: Madame Coco chasing what was a model of exchange functional, beautiful and above all comfortable, which would leave your hands free. A bag dedicated to a woman active, free, independent.

And the solution to this dilemma was easier than one might imagine, it was enough a shoulder strap. In February 1955 then appears the first Chanel 2.55. The first models are in jersey, then moribido lamb. The surface is turned into leather and diamond quilted. The strap is made to chain, and is based on the key custodians of the orphanage where she grew up Mademoiselle Chanel. The memories of the orphanage are reflected even in the interior of the bag, which is burgundy, like the uniforms of the children of the orphanage. Inside is a small pocket closed by a zipper, while the rear is a small pocket designed for storing coins. The closure is also simple, rectangular metal. A model essential, but very elegant.

This model did not come for nothing is almost intact to this day. Of course, a slightly more youthful forms arrived in the '80s, Mr. Karl Lagerfeld. And 'he was to add two legendary C on the closure intertwined and the strip of leather woven chain the shoulder: and here is the Chanel Classic Flap . In 2005, to celebrate 50 years of 2.55, Karl Lagerfeld revived the 2:55 identical to the original designed by Coco Chanel in 1955, giving it the name of 2:55 Reissue (in fact "re-release"). The traditional lines of 2.55, then, are reinterpetate in various colors and materials at each seasonal collection.

Even today, the Chanel 2.55 is produced with a long and painstaking craftsmanship completely. For each bag takes 18 hours of work and quality materials. Two-thirds of production in the plants Chanel French, while the rest is produced in Italy. In short, we are not dealing with a product "serial". Each sample is comparable to a piece of studio is completely handmade with the utmost attention to detail.

The sore spot: prices
It 'obvious that such an object also provides an appropriate cost, which makes the Chanel 2.55 a dream for many of us very difficult to achieve, for prosaic reasons of budget. The bag is produced in three sizes: small, medium and large , but for some collections is also a version jumbo, which is close to a great extent. Prices for standard sizes (which are increased each season) to oscillate between the hours of 1300 Euro small size, the largest of about 2000, while the jumbo now hovers around 2300 Euro. As mentioned then, these prices are subject to seasonal variations: the case of price on demand, and is not always a walk to get them. Of course: rather than a purchase this is a true investment since we are dealing with a quality item that lasts only one season, but that can be used for years, with a steady increase of its value.

Alternative cheap
If you do not have the budget to do an "investment" like, know that you can show off 2:55 a genuine also spending less than a tenth of its value. The solution is to hire the bag: Yes, we can use it for a limited period, but at least we can say we have experienced the excitement of showing a real Chanel bag. Take a look at Borsedilusso.it : There are different models, and with less than $ 100 you can have a Chanel 2.55 for a week. The only risk is the understandable crying spells when you return it.
