There is actually a very interesting history behind the invention of the Chanel 2.55. When this bag was being made, the only idea that Chanel had in mind was to create a bag that could free women's hands. That's how the chain from the bag came into existence. The quilted design on the leather came as an idea to Chanel after she liked the design on the jackets worn by jockeys. She then decided to incorporate that as well in the bag. Also, what most women love about this bag is that the compartments and the sections of the bag are very well planned, and one can keep all her belongings quite comfortably. Now obviously, with so much to offer, the bag had to be heavily priced. But for those who can't afford it, there is no need to feel worried, because no you can buy second hand Chanel 2.55 online.

How to spot a fake chanel bag
There are so many fake chanel bags out there now days and they are so easy to get your hands on that it seems everyone has themselves a genuine chanel handbag. You would think they would be easy to spot and yes there are still quite a few that are, however there are also many that are very hard to pick out as fake. The quality of fakes has become extremely good but there are still tell tale signs that give them away.
Logo
Take a careful look at the logo. It should be centred on the bag. Look to see if any of the logo's have been cut off in a seam or fold, a genuine chanel bag will never have a logo in a position where it is cut in half or missing anything. If a pocket is sewn on the bag look to see if the logo is identical and matched to the bag pattern underneath it. If it's not matching or a different colour, you've got a fake. Also be sure it is the right logo Chanel is CC not GG.
Check online if you are unsure.
All these things can be used to determine if you have a fake or genuine chanel bag no matter what the brand is. Also check with the main web page of your designer of choice and see if they have ever sold that type of bag in that color to be sure you're holding a genuine bag.
Material and Hardware
The bag will be made of high quality material and matched perfectly, on some items like the chanel monogrammed bags there will be no bottom seams and the material will wrap all the way from front to back leaving the back side print upside down. The hardware will be heavy and made of a metal not painted plastic. It will also be stamped with the logo.
Presentation
No genuine bag will come with plastic anywhere on it. There will never be plastic protecting the hardware or handles on a genuine chanel bag. Only the fakes are wrapped like that. Also be sure the bags, boxes and dust bags they come with are the ones that the genuine stores use.
