Chanel’s Reissue 2.55 Computer Laptop Classic tote bag replicates the original. In February 1955, Gabrielle Chanel introduced the world to the 2.55 handbag and gave women independence, allowing women’s hands to remain free and to carry a bag on their shoulders for the first time. Here, it’s fastened with a snap closure, decorated with the mademoiselle turn-lock and carried by the original chain strap. The diamond quilting – inspired by the jackets of jockeys and stable-boys at the time – is stitched onto the aged calfskin leather. This iteration still has a fiery red lining but it’s spacious enough to fit a laptop for those on the go.
