2. Chanel 2.55 – Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

Holly Golightly, played by Audrey Hepburn, famously carried the Chanel 2.55 during the last part of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The bag encapsulated Hepburn’s character perfectly, given its classic, chic silhouette. Hepburn herself owned a collection of 2.55s in the 1960s.

The iconic handbag was created by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel herself who, tired of having to carry her bag in her hand, looked at the hands-free packs of soldiers that inspired her to create the Chanel 2.55. The numbers in its name, 2.55, refer to its date of creation, February 1955. Featuring a long chain strap, the handbag has a quilted texture centring a “Mademoiselle” turnlock, a timeless design popular to this day.
