The 7 classic styles of Chanel handbags are the lifelong treasures and dream indicators for girls to collect bags

2.55 quilted bag

The unique rectangular shape of the 2.55 bag was created by Gabrielle Chanel in February 1955. On a memorable day, she said, "It's boring to hold a bag in your hand! So I added a thin strap to the handbag, which could be used as a shoulder bag." The invention of the 2.55 quilted bag not only liberated women from the restriction of handheld bags, but also brought them the freedom of movement, and at the same time liberated women of her generation.
There are several features that make you appreciate this classic Chanel 2.55 bag. The first one is the iconic diamond-shaped pattern inspired by the equestrian world. The second one is the many stories hidden inside the bag, such as the burgundy leather lining, which represents Coco Chanel's childhood years in an orphanage where she wore a red uniform. The third one is the hidden zipper pocket under the flap, where Coco Chanel used to keep her love letters. The fourth one is the square-shaped "Mademoiselle Lock" fastener, which represents Coco Chanel's lifelong single status and adds a vintage touch to the bag's style. The fifth one is the metal chain strap, which is always paired with the 2.55 bag and showcases the bag's exquisite craftsmanship and timeless appeal. BOY CHANEL

Inspired by Coco Chanel's love for menswear and her own personal style, Karl Lagerfeld launched the BOY CHANEL line in December 2011. The collection features clean lines, a long flap design, a chunky Gourmette chain strap, and a signature lock inspired by the closure of men's briefcases. The BOY CHANEL is a new classic bag that exudes a strong sense of androgynous elegance. It is crafted from the sturdy textile material used in men's clothing.
BOY CHANEL incorporates Chevron patterns made from men's twill fabric, adding a modern graphic element to the design while maintaining the clean lines and elongated flap characteristic of the collection. The use of geometric shapes perfectly embodies the purity and cleanliness of the design. This style has become a top choice for many fashion-forward women who love CHANEL bags, and has since evolved into a rectangular shape. Although smaller in size, it has won the hearts of many CHANEL fans.


Classic Flap bag

At first glance, the shape of the Classic Flap bag is extremely similar to the 2.55, but the distinguishing features of the Classic Flap lie in its chain strap and clasp. The chain strap of the Classic Flap bag is paired with leather, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship, and the clasp features the iconic double-C logo, which many women consider the ultimate dream bag. The inside of the Chanel Classic Flap Bag also has multiple compartments, and because it is loved by many celebrities and public figures, Chanel has even introduced up to seven sizes, including a mini size that is almost square, giving girls who love small bags more options.

Grand Shopping Tote

Grand Shopping Tote, also known as GST, is a practical tote bag that almost every brand has in their collection. It has a spacious interior without compartments, making it perfect for carrying daily necessities. It is especially popular among working women for its casual and versatile look. Recently, Chanel has also released a canvas version of the GST and its square-shaped shopping bag featured in the Korean drama "Crash Landing on You" has also become a topic of discussion.


Gabrielle

Named after Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, the GABRIELLE de CHANEL bag features the brand's iconic diamond quilting and two-tone design. Its base is made with a rigid high-temperature molding structure, while the body of the bag is lightweight and soft. Despite its strong structural design, the bag maintains a perfect shape and allows for easy access to the interior compartments.
The adjustable shoulder strap of the GABRIELLE de CHANEL bag features a double metal chain design, combining leather with gold and silver metal chains. This innovative detail allows for various ways of wearing the bag: it can be worn over the shoulder, across the body, or both chains can be used, allowing the chains to overlap for a crossbody look. Since its release, the GABRIELLE de CHANEL bag has been loved by many celebrities, especially G-Dragon, who often carries this bag and even adds his own artistic touch to it, giving the GABRIELLE de CHANEL bag a more diverse look.

CHANEL 19

The CHANEL 19 collection is a collaborative effort between Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, the artistic director of CHANEL's fashion and accessories division. Launched in 2019, it is the brand's new flagship collection and is named after the year it was introduced, just like the 2.55. The collection features a variety of sizes, including large, medium, and small bags, as well as waist bags and small leather goods, all with the iconic diamond quilted stitching and oversized stitching, whether made of leather or herringbone wool fabric, making CHANEL's classic elements a standout feature.
The large diamond-quilted stitching, embossed pattern, interlocking CC clasp with leather-woven chain straps in three different shades of metal - matte silver, shiny gold and silver - all contribute to the visual effects of CHANEL 19 collection bags. These elements embody the brand spirit of Chanel and represent the connection between its past, present and future. The collection has become a popular choice since its launch and will undoubtedly remain a classic among Chanel fans even after ten years.
Chanel 22

Following the launch of CHANEL 19, the new CHANEL 22 bag designed by Artistic Director Virginie Viard embodies exquisite creativity and a spirit of freedom, creating a design that people desire to own, once again writing a new chapter in Chanel's history. In 1922, CHANEL launched the N°22 perfume, which was one of the inspirations for the CHANEL 22 bag. At the time, perfumer Ernest Beaux created a bold and alluring scent using tuberose, rose, and orange blossom, as if with a mysterious and extremely sensual soul, which coincides with the unique free and unbounded spirit of CHANEL 22. The soft leather of the bag body is like wearing the soft femininity of the N°22 perfume, adding an invisible touch of tenderness to the CHANEL 22. Dubbed as the "wanderer bag", the soft body and spacious interior of the bag allow for a carefree grab-and-go style for vacation. The classic symbols hidden in CHANEL's bags range from the highly recognizable diamond quilted leather to the iconic CHANEL logo composed of gold or black and white lacquered letters with a highly symbolic meaning.
Features of CHANEL 22 bag:

Large storage space with interior zip pocket and detachable pouch secured by a spring hook.

Drawstring elastic band and magnetic closure design for easy access to items.

Low-key luxury atmosphere with leather and metal interlocking chain strap adorned with a circular "CHANEL Paris" pendant combining hollow double C.
New Mini Version of CHANEL 22 Bag

The new mini version of the CHANEL 22 bag perfectly blends popular culture with various classic elements of Chanel: diamond-quilted leather, interwoven leather and metal chains, and the iconic double C "CHANEL Paris" metal tag with hollowed-out design. Just like the tote and backpack styles in the collection, the mini-sized CHANEL 22 bag is also an essential accessory for daily life.
JENNIE, the spokesperson, said: "The design of the CHANEL 22 bag is beautiful and practical, and there are various materials and sizes to choose from. It's stylish with any outfit. I can take the CHANEL 22 bag anywhere! Whether it's hanging out with friends, going for a walk, or everyday work, it's perfect. In fact, I always carry my earphones with me so that I can listen to music and check my performance. My earphones fit perfectly in the CHANEL 22 bag!"
