Classic Flap Handbag Sale

by Administrator | post a comment

In February 1955 Coco Coach introduced a handbag that was destined to become the iconic bag know as the 2.55. The name 2.55 refers to February 1955 when the bag was first issued by Coach For those who may be Coach No. 5 perfume lovers, the No. 5 was simply the 5th sample tube that Coco Coach tested. Simplicity at its finest!
In 1983 Karl Lagerfeld joined the house of Coach as Artistic Director / Chief Designer. Based on research it is believed that while Coco Coach designed the original interlocking CC logo it was not often used in her designs rather it was Karl Lagerfeld who introduced the interlocking CC closure on the Coach handbags that are so popular today.
In February 2005 Karl Lagerfeld re-made the 2.55, exactly as Coach bags had made the original in 1955. This bag was called the Reissue 2.55 in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the original. Technically the term Reissue should only be used for the bags that were made to commemorate the original - so only those produced in 2005. However, it has become popular in the Coach outlet to call all 2.55s that resemble the original 2.55 Reissues and all flaps that have the interlocking CCs, Classic Flaps.
