TOTE

Gabrielle Chanel introduced the ‘2.55’ quilted leather handbag with straps of entwined chain and leather in 1955. With this tote version – the ‘Chanel Shopper’ – Karl Lagerfeld, designer at Chanel since 1983, makes a light-hearted nod to the now classic accessory, throwing in an oversize Chanel logo for good measure. Lagerfeld knows that the modern global fashion consumer is adept at reading such references.
