Why is a Chanel handbag worths so much and how a Chanel handbag is made

 Chanel’s famous classic flap bag and Chanel Reissue 2.55 flap bags have a little something that some people dream of owing and appreciated.  We all love it and want it.  The only thing that keeping us from those beauties is the hefty price tag. Why is a Chanel bag worths over thousand of dollars? 

I would like to share the article on "How a Chanel bag is made".

Chanel is synonymous with timelessness. The brand’s coveted 2.55 bag (which is in fact its a “date of birth”, February, 1955) continues to gain popularity for its classic design and longevity. Many people’s handbag collections have sprinklings of Chanel accessories from decades ago that never seem to age.

Mademoiselle Chanel designed her accessories to be both practical and sensible. To her, the accessories signified true emblem of luxury and elegance. This remains true to this day with Karl Lagerfeld at the helm of the brand.

When Coco Chanel began to design the classic bag, she strove for functionality. For this reason, the bag showcases a double flap with has a zip-fastened pocket inside it, intended as a secret place for storing a love letter or blank notes. On the inside of the bag there are three bellow pockets, also meant to store a lady’s necessities like lipstick.

Coco also insisted that the bag had to have body, which is why we see the quilted diamond shaped pattern that adds volume to the shape. The garnet colored lining matches the color of the uniform she wore in the orphanage, while the double C is stitched like a coat of arms. The iconic rectangular clasp that is gilted with gold, the famous leather and chain shoulder strap had never been seen on a handbag before Coco Chanel added them.

 Chanel is a brand with a rich history and plenty of iconic aesthetic elements from which to draw. Demand for the brand’s bags seems to be nearly endless, and seasonal styles and collection staples alike are here today, gone tomorrow. 

For every season, Chanel generously offers not one handbag collection but two. You get the regular collection bags, which are always luxurious and highly detailed in their own right, and then you get Outstanding Pieces, which are on a whole different level.

Chanel handbags are known for their timeless simply because the designs are clean and bold, simple and appealing. The handbags present wearable, luxurious, aesthetically pleasing options for women in a variety of situations.

Even if you don’t count yourself among Chanel's fans, you have to admit that there are a few things Karl & Co. do very well. Chiefly among them are the gorgeously detailed and often-exotic flap bags that the company releases every season in its Outstanding  Pieces capsule collection, which is exactly what it sounds like – the best of the best from one of the world’s biggest handbag brands.
