Chanel Reissue Flap Bag Review

The bad news is that the Chanel Reissue Flap Bag is no longer carried by Chanel stores worldwide. The good news, however, is that it is available as a 7 star AAA handbag year round as part of Poshmoda and its extensive replica bag line. Read this short review for a look at the history behind this memorable Chanel purse.

The 2.55 in the Chanel handbag name pertains to the maiden release of the handbag in February 1955. The "2.55" is the banner term for all the flap-style bags Chanel produces. Chanel has done many touches and innovations to the original Chanel 2.55 bag, including the Chanel Reissue Flap Bag, which was launched in February 2005. Exactly 50 years after the creation of the 2.55 by legendary designer Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld came up with the Reissue to commemorate the anniversary - in utmost class, of course!

Remember, though, that only the Reissues made in 2005 are the real Reissues. One of this Chanel handbag's most enticing features is the Mademoiselle lock, called as such based on the fact that Coco Chanel never married. It offers an equally sophisticated twist to the original Chanel bag lock.

The Reissue also has double chain shoulder straps, and this element is once again connected to Coco's reality. At the orphanage where Coco grew up, the caretakers would usually dangle keys using the same metal chain type found in Chanel bags.

A Chanel 7 star handbag allows the same luxe Chanel experience, of course with the same genuine quilted calfskin leather, flap closure, mademoiselle lock, and chain straps. Get the Chanel Reissue Flap Bag in a 7 star handbag available at a fraction of the cost of an authentic Chanel.  This is one of the major persuasions of top replicas: they offer seasonal and former styles all year round, without fuss or waiting lists!
