An Icon for Over a Century
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel founded the iconic House of Chanel in 1909, and since then, it has become a widely recognizable brand standing for quality and luxury. Starting as a simple Parisian hat shop, within a decade, it had grown to three brick-and-mortar stores, a women's activewear line, and a haute couture line. The house has exploded into a globally beloved brand in the century since.
It wasn't until the 1920s that Coco released her first handbag. Made with practicality in mind, military carryall packs inspired the rectangular jersey bag. It was an immediate hit. Unlike other bags on the market, it didn't need to be carried by hand but could be slung over the shoulder for convenience. Of course, Chanel couldn't make it all function and no style, and women fell in love with the chic design.
In 1955, the first iteration of the Chanel 2.55 was released. Still one of the brand's most popular bags, the 2.55 is most likely what you think of when someone says "Chanel purse." Made with a gold chain strap, quilted leather, and the CC logo known the world over, the handbag is still an "It-Girl" at nearly 70 and has been on the shoulders of stylish women for decades, from first ladies to supermodels and, hopefully, you.
Chanel has always been in style for the modern woman. Coco Chanel used her handbag designs to empower women on the go, and Karl Lagerfeld continued her legacy by making luxury designs that thoughtfully considered what the modern woman needed.

Quality Like No Other
The quality of the construction is precisely why you should buy pre-loved Chanel handbags for women. Even if you carry your Chanel purse every day, to and from the office, on the weekends at bottomless brunch, and every date night for the next forty years, with the proper care, you'll have to write these bags into your will. Buying pre-owned Chanel bags is very similar to buying new ones; you get the same luxurious quality with the satisfaction of an incredible deal.
Chanel bags are crafted from the finest, high-quality materials. Coco herself insisted that the teams of artisans who created the first 2.55 bags handled the materials without wearing gloves, with clean hands and impeccably manicured nails. She wanted to ensure the craftsmen could feel the materials they were working with to produce the perfect bag.
Today, you can expect the same level of perfectionism from the fashion house. Up to 15 people can work on one 2.55 bag, and the brand has worked with the same groups of craftsmen on all of their products, from leatherworkers to hide tanners to embroiderers, for the past century. The precision stitching, thoughtful designs, and luxurious materials truly create an impeccable bag.
