The famous Wallet on Chain bag: a legendary piece by Chanel.
Everyone talks about the House of Chanel, its amazing fashion shows and long succession of stunning muses. But the public often forgets that this French brand is already over a century old. Ever since it was founded, Chanel has been committed to putting women centre stage by making them more independent. Beyond clothes, the House has made forays into multiple domains like fragrances, jewellery and accessories. As far as bags are concerned, such was their success that certain models like the 2.55, the Boy and the Wallet on Chain have become legends over the years.
An iconic bag designed by a leading French House.
As Gabrielle Chanel used to say very wisely: "Fashion goes out of fashion, style never does". By designing bags in models like the famous Wallet on Chain, the idea was to bring changes to women's body language and free up their hands as elegantly as possible. This small-format bag allows a lady to take the bare essentials with her. With over-the-shoulder femininity, it contains all the House of Chanel's main codes: the use of quilting and the shoulder strap crafted in a combination of chain and leather ribbon. The metal clasp with the two Cs for Chanel is also one of the aspects everyone loves about this model.
