CHANEL Melle 2.55 black bag 2016-17
Iconic and timeless Chanel "Mademoiselle" 2.55 Double Flap 27 cm bag made of aged black quilted calfskin leather and metal. Supple lightly patinated leather, signature diamond quilting, and long gold-tone chain shoulder strap.
With the famous rectangular "Mademoiselle" lock, inspired by the minimalist aesthetic beloved by Coco Chanel. More discreet than the interlocking CC turn-lock introduced later, this iconic closure directly references the earliest Chanel handbags created by Gabrielle Chanel and remains highly sought after by collectors today.
Signed: Chanel Made in Italy - serial number starting by 23.
The original "2.55" bag, from which this Double Flap derives, was first introduced in February 1955 — hence its name — and revolutionized luxury handbag design through its practical chain shoulder strap, allowing women to carry their bags hands-free with elegance and ease. The aged black leather combined with the Mademoiselle lock gives this piece an especially sophisticated vintage character and understated luxury appeal.

Iconique et intemporel sac Chanel "Mademoiselle" 2.55 Double Flap 27 cm en cuir matelassé noir vieilli et métal doré. Le cuir souple délicatement patiné, les emblématiques surpiqûres diamant ainsi que la longue chaîne dorée incarnent parfaitement l'élégance parisienne et le raffinement intemporel associés aux créations les plus mythiques de la maison Chanel.
Avec son célèbre fermoir rectangulaire "Mademoiselle", inspiré de l'esthétique minimaliste chère à Coco Chanel. Plus discret que le fermoir double C introduit ultérieurement, ce détail emblématique fait directement référence aux premiers sacs Chanel créés par Gabrielle Chanel et demeure aujourd'hui particulièrement recherché des collectionneurs.
Signé : Chanel Made in Italy – numéro de série commençant par 23, 2016-17.
Le modèle original "2.55", dont dérive ce Double Flap, fut lancé en février 1955 — d'où son nom — et révolutionna l'univers de la maroquinerie de luxe grâce à sa bandoulière chaîne permettant aux femmes de porter leur sac à l'épaule tout en gardant les mains libres avec élégance et praticité. Le cuir noir vieilli associé au fermoir Mademoiselle confère à cette pièce un caractère vintage particulièrement sophistiqué ainsi qu'une élégance discrète emblématique de Chanel.
