Chanel Patent Bags

The Chanel Patent Leather line hasn't reached as high a popularity as some of the other lines over the years, but is still sought after because of its glossy vintage look and rarity of models. Patent Leather handbags require a certain amount of maintenance as the leather scuffs and wears easily when you're not careful enough. Plus it is sensitive to stamp marks and high humidity environment. However, if properly taken care of, it has an unmistakable look and keeps its price long after its been bought for the very first time.

The House of Chanel started in 1909 when Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel known as COCO opened her first store in Paris (31 rue Cambon Ave). In the early stages, Chanel focused solely on “haute couture” (high fashion) and ready-to-wear clothing pieces and hats (Chanel Suit), later adding jewelry, accessories and perfumes (No.5 de Chanel) to their collections.

In February 1955 – a historical date – Coco Chanel introduced a double flap handbag with a mademoiselle closure and a metal chain that would later become one of the most easily recognizable handbags in the world, with its name based on the date of introduction – “The 2.55”. Karl Lagerfeld joined the company in 1983 as chief designer and brought a touch of today
to this very classical brand. In 2003,Coco Mademoiselle was the new line celebrating younger generations and capturing new
audience with a softer approach. Over the last 100 years, Chanel became one of the most iconic brands of our time. 
Today, Chanel is associated with luxury, distinguished taste and high social status.
