Coco Chanel Handbags

FAMOUS WOMEN AND BEAUTY

FEATURING: Coco Chanel handbags

Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel, one of the greatest fashion designers of the 20th century.



The Chanel quilted leather handbag with twisted leather and gilt chain shoulder strap appeared in 1955, one year after her coming back to the world of fashion (see the biography of Coco Chanel for the details). Her handbag was available in two materials: leather or jersey. It became popular in the favorite colors of Chanel: beige, brown, black and navy.

Created at the age of 71, Chanel handbag was bringing in more than a style - the sensation in the world of fashion.

It became a status symbol for the second half of the century.The same as her other innovational designs, her famous handbag would be copied many times, and would continue to be the source inspiration for the modern designers.


The Coco Chanel bags of nowadays are still craftsman-made. The Coco Chanel logo on the gilt clasp is a more recent addition to the traditional design.
