Did you know...

Did you know Coco Chanel is the reason we have handbags that have straps that can go on your shoulders? She was sick of having her hands full and was inspired by soldiers' bags. Thus the shoulder strap was born. 

After the revival of her fashion house (headed by her, naturally) the quilted bag we all know and love (and drool over), the 2.55 was born. Why is it called the 2.55? Because it was created in February of 1955, of course.

What, you didn't know handbags have names? They do! As well as shoes. They are created with great respect and should be treated as such!
