A used original bag in brown suede. The small shoulder bag is back, and the originals are still out there. A bag from this era was designed to be carried, not photographed, and it shows in the hardware and the stitching.

The listing calls them original. That is the word to test: a stamp, a joint, a seat that has aged as one piece rather than a later copy sitting on an older frame.

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.

Look at the corners, hardware and lining. Real bags age at the stress points first, so a worn corner is often a good sign, not a flaw.
