Many suits used for uniforms come in navy blue colors. This color became popular, and what was once a color for the workforce suits has become a color of choice for business attires, too. Women who are now also filling up corporate and executive chairs in huge companies also use business suits. What could best accent these power women are the Chanel 2.55 navy bags.

   Navy blue handbags have become popular in the 80s and what was made into clutch and briefcases, have pushed on towards bags that have become a symbol for mobility and upward move on the corporate ladder.

  Chanel has become one of the more reliable producers of designer navy blue bags. The designs are a bit conservative, but they are not boring. The touch of French flair on these bags makes them haute couture staples.

   The Chanel 255 handbag is the classic and original bag from Coco Chanel. This has started it all for designer bags that are fashionable and functional at the same time. Coco wanted a bag that will bring women some kind of empowerment with freedom to move about without worrying too much on a clutch that needs to be constantly held. The chain strap was a hit and it still is, after so many decades.

   The Classic Flap bag is seen in the neutral colors like black, white, or gray, but it also comes in navy blue. This is especially attractive to those who want to be a bit different from those who would rather be black or white.

   Throughout the history of fashion, the Chanel 2.55 bags have managed to stay close to its original design or concept. Other fashion houses have totally evolved with their designs, but not Chanel. Long after Coco Chanel entrusted her house to Karl Lagerfeld, so much of her legend and philosophies are still imbibed in the modern bag designs.

  There are many ways to identify the original Chanel 2.55 handbags, here are some:

•  There is a brown lining that is originally representative of the uniforms that Coco wore when she lived in a convent.
• Inside the bag is a compartment you can zip up. A lovely story has been told about Coco using a similar compartment to conceal her love letters.
• Back pocket or flap where you can place extra money like Coco
• Shoulder strap is a gold chain that is also a representation of Coco’s life story. The chains were inspired by the chains used by the nuns in the convent to hang their keys.
• The lock upfront has the double C logo inscription. This is aptly called the Mademoiselle Lock and is Chanel’s most famous trademark.

  The quilted material used on the 2.55 bag is also a Chanel mark. Although Lagerfeld has experimented on other materials and other implementations, the 2.55 bags have remained close to the original to pay tribute to the legend of Coco.

  Caviar leather was a favorite but the house has also started to use tweed, ostrich leather, calfskin and lambskin in making the quilted bags.
