CHANEL 2.55

Every girl know who and what was Coco Chanel, and know what mean number 2.55 . This number is name for best bag.

For this bag:

 

In the 1920s, Coco Chanel became tired of having to carry her handbags in her arms and decided to design a handbag that freed up her hands. Inspired by the straps found on soldiers’ bags she added thin straps and introduced the resulting design to the market in 1929. After her successful comeback to the fashion industry in 1954, Chanel decided to update her handbag, for the modern women. The resulting design was called 2.55 after the date of creation, February 1955.

  

The bag has a number of features:

• The lining’s burgundy colour represents the colour of the uniforms at the convent where she grew up.
• There is a zippered compartment at the inside of the front flap. That’s where Coco Chanel hid her love letters (from her lover at the time).
• The backside has a back outside flap for storage of money.
• Chanel recognising that the modern women needed to have their hands free while attending social functions designed a double chain shoulder strap, something common in downmarket products, but rare in luxury circles at the time. The chains were attached by leather-threaded chain inserted though eyelets. The caretakers of the convent she grew up at hold the keys at their waist dangling from the same type of chains as the 2.55 shoulder strap chains.
• The bag originally came with a front lock called “the Mademoiselle Lock” (in reference to Coco Chanel never marrying). Since the 1980s, versions can also be supplied with a lock in the shape of a double CC logo. These called “Classic Flaps”.

 

• The bag has a quilted diamond or herringbone pattern on the exterior. Using a running stitch, this gives the bag shape and volume. The pattern is believed to have been inspired by several sources: by jockeys’ riding coats, the stained-glass windows of the abbey at Aubazine, as well as by the cushions in Chanel’s Paris apartment.

Ready To New Year Eve

In last post I've  been already writing about dresses for New Year Eve’s, but I only put dresses with sparkles and a lot of jewel. So in this post I’ll show you how to choose the right dress, for different personality's, and for different parties.

For dark princess, all of you girls who love to have black all around you.

Deep ocean-remember on summer.

Formal but in style. Using pastel colors, you will look formal, but still sexy. Best colors are nude, peach or light pink colors.

 

Romantic ruffle. This is perfect for you, if your personality is more in princess style, and if you like soft and pastel colors.

 Winter wonderland. Try to use white color, if your skin is lighter. Amazing tip: put red lipstick on when you’re wearing white dress. Try to be braver and also put red shoes on. You will look fabulous!
