A used piece in black leather. Buy the piece, not the promise. Condition, provenance and a maker's mark are worth more than a brand name alone.

The woman who changed how women dress.

Founded by Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel in Paris in 1910. She gave women the little black dress, the tweed suit and, in 1955, the first shoulder bag with a chain strap, the 2.55.

Chanel is collected across everything from the 2.55 and Classic Flap to costume jewellery and silk scarves. The interlocking CC and the chain strap are among the most recognised marks in fashion.

What to look for

On bags, check the stitch count per diamond, the hardware weight and the hologram or serial. Gold-tone hardware and lambskin age fastest, so condition drives price hard.

Darts, a lining and a label tell you how a dress was made. Shoulders and hips carry the fit, so measure against something that already works on you.

How to wear it

Let the piece lead. Build the outfit or the room around it, not the other way round.
