What bag did Coco Chanel use?
1 Answer

Coco Chanel used many bags over the course of her life, but there is little information about which specific bags she carried. There are accounts that the acclaimed designer sported her iconic 2.55 Flap Bag, which was the first bag to ever feature a shoulder strap when it debuted in 1955. Some say that she used the hidden zipper compartment in the quilted shoulder bag to hide love letters from an admirer. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of Chanel bags.
