Aged Calfskin Quilted 2.55 Reissue Mini Flap Black

This specific model is crafted from black aged calfskin leather, a material chosen for its distinctive “wrinkled” or distressed finish that authentically replicates the appearance of the original bag carried by Gabrielle Chanel. It features the iconic diamond quilting, a signature House code inspired by the quilted jackets worn by stableboys and jockeys. The signature design element is the “Mademoiselle” turn-lock closure, a rectangular clasp named in reference to Coco Chanel’s status as an unmarried woman.

A symbol of freedom and functional luxury, the Mini 2.55 is a compact interpretation of the revolutionary design introduced in February 1955. It features an all-metal “bijoux” chain strap, inspired by the keychains used by the caretakers at the orphanage where Gabrielle Chanel grew up. The bag maintains the historic double flap construction, revealing a hidden “love letter” zip pocket and a signature burgundy leather lining—the color of Chanel’s childhood uniform. Its petite silhouette paired with gold-tone metal hardware makes it an enduring icon of Parisian sophistication.
