CHANEL - Navy Quilted 226 Shoulder Bag ("The Reissue 2.55, Patent Leather")

The Chanel Reissue 2.55 flap bag (226) with authentication card and dust bag. * Origin: The original 2.55 flap bag was designed by Coco Chanel in February 1955 (hence "2.55") because she wanted a shoulder bag that freed up her hands, a revolutionary concept at the time. * The "Reissue": In 2005, Karl Lagerfeld re-released an exact replica of Coco Chanel's original 1955 design to commemorate its 50th anniversary. *"Reissue" design elements: Mademoiselle lock (rectangular twist lock, not the interlocking CCs), all-metal chain strap (no leather interwoven), double flap (exterior & interior), multiple compartments and slip pockets for organization, and the "Mona Lisa Smile" back pocket (crescent-shaped slip pocket on the back of the bag) * Material: Patent leather (leather treated with a high-gloss finish)
