THE KELLY BAG
It was redesigned several times and was renamed to honour Hollywood legend Grace Kelly, who fell in love with its design while filming To Catch A Thief in 1954.
The Kelly is one of the original It-bags, but few bags were more popular and prized than its successor: the Birkin.
THE BIRKIN BAG
The Birkin bag was born from a meeting between actress and singer Jane Birkin and designer Jean-Louis Dumas in 1984. The pair met on a plane, and inspired by Jane's complaint, that she could not fit her baby bottle in her bag, Dumas created the Birkin.
Since then, the bag has become a legendary item, thanks in part to how difficult it is to get one's hands on it.
THE CHANEL 2.55
The Chanel 2.55 is a luxury leather handbag or purse manufactured by the fashion house of Chanel.
In the 1920s, Coco Chanel became tired of having to carry her handbags in her arms and decided to design a handbag that freed up her hands. Inspired by the straps found on soldiers’ bags she added thin straps and introduced the resulting design to the market in 1929.
After her successful comeback to the fashion industry in 1954, Chanel decided to update her handbag. The resulting design was called 2.55 after the date of creation, February 1955.
THE CHANEL CLASSIC DOUBLE FLAP BAG
The classic Double Flap Bag is a must-have for every Chanel collector. Karl Lagerfeld, who became creative director of Chanel in 1983, made one notable addition: the ‘CC’ turnlock, now a feature on the Classic Flap. Traditionally crafted in jersey, then lambskin and caviar leather.
