Secret # 1: Three key words about 2.55


Chanel 2.55 was created by Miss Coco in February 1955 (so called 2.55), at that time Coco Chanel launched this new work can be said to bring a revolution, because she was the first to change the dull military image shaped by the shoulder strap, injected female elements in it. In addition, Miss Coco not only designed a style, but also designed the process. At that time, Western aristocrats who admired luxury liked items made of high-grade materials such as sheepskin very much. However, sheepskin was easy to be worn and deformed, so Coco cleverly padded the sheepskin with sponges and other things and sewed it with a diamond pattern, so that the sheepskin would not be deformed. The shape of the bag has also become new and unique.

In the design, Coco Chane added three elements of her own, which are closely related to her upbringing.


Double chain: Friends who have known Miss Coco's life experience should know that she grew up in an orphanage, so the design inspiration of 2.55 chain is also from the orphanage, at that time, the orphanage guards used a similar chain to tie the key to their waist, which became a very impressive picture for Coco.


2.55 The color in the mezzanine is the color of the uniform of the caretaker in the orphanage where Coco was a child, which should also represent the color of her childhood. It seems that the orphanage has a deep influence on Miss Coco.

Long buckle: 2.55 long buckle is named "Mademoiselle Lock", translated as "Miss lock", representing Coco's life is not married, although she has experienced countless feelings in her life, but ultimately did not wear wedding clothes, into the palace of marriage. This slightly antique color rectangular button is like a lock on the heart, hiding the feelings of her life, so Coco is also called Miss Coco Chanel.

Secret 2: Was Coco Chanel's Muse a man?


It is often said that Coco Chanel is a once-in-a-century fashion genius, but few people know that without this man: Arther Boy Capel, she may have been a young woman in a Paris tailor's shop all her life.


This is a line from the movie Coco Chanel.

The beginning of the story starts from here, Chanel grew up in an orphanage, although there is no background of daddy, but he learned a craft with the nuns: sewing clothes. However, as an independent woman, Coco was not willing to be a frog in the well, so she went to Paris after 18 years of age, first entered a tailor shop to work, where she met the rich and powerful officer Etienne Balsan, began her own road to upper class society. But how can the talented designer be bound by the easy life, she has a dream: to have a hat brand of her own.

But Balsan does not support her, and the relationship between the two begins to crack, when the super-rich Boy Capel comes in, he tells Coco: "I can help you realize your dreams." This is a classic romance novel, a broken-down genius girl who meets a domineering CEO.


Boy Capel, an industrialist himself, understood Coco's talent and respected her dreams. He sponsored Coco's first store, used his personal connections to expand Coco's customer base, and helped her in any way he could.

For Coco, such a quality man is not only her material and spiritual pillar, but also becomes her eternal Muse of inspiration. The bottle design of No.5 perfume was derived from the whiskey bottle Boy Capel liked, and the iconic camellia flower was the first bouquet he gave her. Boy Capel's dressing style inspired the design concept of Coco lady Boyish, who injected the style of Capel's sweatshirt into women's dresses. Forever changed the grooming habits that made women uncomfortable in tights. Even the character of Ms. Chanel is also influenced by Mr. Boy Capel and has a boy attitude.

It can be said that Boy Capel made Coco Chanel, he was her spiritual support and inspiration for a lifetime, Boy Capel died in 1919, Chanel in order to commemorate him, since then only wear black, but also created the Chanel brand of black and white classic color.

Secret 3: LeBoy bag inspired by hunting clip?


Released in September 2011, LeBoy was an instant hit. Its shape is inspired by the hunting bullet clip Coco used in her youth, and it incorporates the 2.55 duplicate bag type, and uses brass chains and square locks to add weight and deepen the retro feeling.

The reason why it was named "Le Boy Chanel" is mainly due to Coco's Boyish attitude. Karl Lagerfeld, the current director of Chanel, said: "Coco will use men's lining material to make dresses. She has a very spontaneous attitude in a boy's heart." This character is also influenced by his lover, Mr. Arther Boy Capel, which just explains why this handbag is named Boy Chanel

Secret 4: The origin of camellia


Coco must have loved "camellias" because they were the first flowers that Boy Capel had given her. For small fragrant fans around the world, "camellia" has been equated with the "national flower" of the kingdom of Chanel. This classical, geometric flower is pure and flawless. In the 1930s, Coco Lady often freshened up her little black dress with a camellia flower. Camellia symbolizes pleasure, sensibility, and also represents unrestrained love and enthusiasm. Ms. Coco does not want to admit that she is obsessed with camellia because of her desire for love life, but there is no doubt that she is completely overwhelmed by this mysterious and tasteless flower.

Since 1960, camellias have blossomed everywhere, from being the simplest of white cotton floral accessories to being incorporated into all Chanel designs. Add embroidery, lace or diamond trim, tassels and feathers, patent leather or artificial amber and silk satin to give this simple and fresh flower a luxurious side.
