The history of the essential vintage Chanel bag

From Coco Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld

Coco Chanel was born in 1883. The designer opened her first shop in 1910. She sold only hats and then moved on to make women’s sportswear. It was a revolution! At that time, women did not have easy access to really comfortable clothes. Coco Chanel put her finger on a real need. Throughout her career, she actively participated in the women’s liberation movement. She was one of those who popularised the wearing of trousers. Imagine… in her time, women wishing to wear trousers first had to justify themselves and ask for permission from the prefecture. Coco Chanel’s haute couture shows were scandalous. Her models, “dressed as men”, also had their hair cut short… It was unheard of! Her conception of women’s fashion was unprecedented. Coco Chanel swept aside the boundaries between masculine and feminine with a wave of her hand. No fashion without comfort, the woman is not an object of contemplation. After the death of Gabrielle Chanel, known as Coco, the House is no longer as flamboyant. For 10 years, it lived off its past successes. But in 1983, Karl Lagerfeld takes the reins. He understood everything. He gave Chanel back its provocative and unexpected spirit. Chanel is clothes and accessories that anticipate women’s needs. The creator was behind the design of the most iconic vintage Chanel bags. For example, he took over the design of the 2.55, boldly inspired by the military bags worn by soldiers. Designed by Coco Chanel in February 1955 (hence its name, the 2.55), it was one of the first shoulder bags. Karl Lagerfeld redesigned it in 1980 with the Chanel 11.12 bag (which was not created in 2012), then in 1988 with the Timeless. Even today, vintage Chanel Timeless bags are not soon to be forgotten. Since 2019, fashion designer Virginie Viard has taken over the reins of the House of Chanel. She was Karl Lagerfeld’s closest collaborator for some thirty years. Virginie Viard takes up the codes of the Chanel bad girl with as much nostalgia as creativity.
