Black Chanel Tray

Generally, So Black Chanel handbags are rare. The term refers to bags that feature black leather and matching black hardware. For each collection, Chanel produces handbags in a set range of colors, and usually only a limited number of bags like the Chanel Classic Flap Bag and Chanel Boy Bag are available in So Black. Because the seasonal selection is small and there is usually great demand for the black-on-black bags, it can be hard to find one at a Chanel boutique. However, you can often buy them on trusted online platforms. Explore a variety of Chanel So Black bags on 1stDibs.

What makes the Chanel little black dress so special has everything to do with what the garment symbolized and the era in which it materialized. Legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel revolutionized women’s wear, introducing a more casual, less constricting look for the early 20th century, and debuting uncomplicated skirts and jackets made of a cloth-like fabric called jersey that was considerably unconventional in the world of couture fashion. She set the fashion world alight in 1926 with an elegant but versatile black dress, which was simple and spare compared to other Jazz Age garments (and quite bold, as black was reserved for mourning). Importantly, the dress was affordable during a time of great financial difficulty and aimed at the broadest possible market. Find vintage Chanel dresses on 1stDibs.

Coco Chanel first made the little black dress popular in 1926. That year, Vogue magazine referred to the dress as Chanel’s Model T as a way to describe how the approachable design was something the average woman could wear, just as Ford’s Model T automobile made it possible for more everyday people to own a car.
