Famous fashion designer Coco Chanel once said, "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." She could have been talking about her namesake Chanel handbags. All Chanel handbags, regardless of size, shape, color, or type of leather used, exude an air of undeniable chic. Since the premiere of the first Chanel handbag in 1929 until now, when Karl Lagerfeld redesigned the classic flap bag, Chanel bags have been the gold standard for classic elegance.
