'Lego' Clutch

Designed by Karl Lagerfeld – who else – and debuted in Chanel’s Spring Summer 2013 runway, the Lego Clutch is a colourful, compact, geometric bag. Based on a Lego brick, the clutch was stunning with its toy-inspired aesthetics and was everywhere. It was carried by the likes of Rita Ora, Diana Kruger, and the Kardashians, which meant something in 2014.

Chanel Flap Bags

When Coco Chanel introduced the Chanel 2.55 in the 1950s, she didn’t just design a bag—she sparked a revolution. This timeless creation was the first-ever shoulder bag for women, featuring a quilted design and a chain strap that liberated women’s hands while redefining elegance.


Decades later,  Lagerfeld reimagined the 2.55, introducing the iconic 11.12 bag. This modern take featured the now-famous CC clasp and a leather-woven chain strap, blending contemporary sophistication with Chanel’s signature design codes. Both bags remain timeless treasures that embody the spirit of Chanel it-bags.
