Flaptekst van het boek over handtassen van Chanel
The fascinating world of iconic Chanel bags comes to life in the impressive illustrated book “The Ultimate Guide to Chanel Bags” by Alexandra Fullerton. As part of the new Brand Bible book series, this volume is dedicated to the most legendary handbag models of the traditional French brand Chanel and sheds light on their history, craftsmanship and cultural significance.
The story of Chanel begins with the visionary Coco Chanel, who revolutionized fashion in the 1920s by freeing women from the strict dress codes of the time. Her timeless designs, especially the legendary Chanel 2.55 bag, are symbols of style and status. This handbag was one of the first with a shoulder strap and combined functionality with chic elegance.
But not only the classics, such as 2.55 or 11.12, are presented in the illustrated book, but also street style favorites such as the Boy Bag, Minaudieres and special models that make the heart of every fashionista beat faster. There are also insights into pop culture, in which Chanel bags have often become an indispensable accessory for stars and starlets. They are omnipresent in films, series and at major events.
Author Alexandra Fullerton, who worked as a fashion director for magazines for many years, explains the Chanel handbag universe in depth and with a passion for fashion and style, including the craftsmanship and authenticity of the famous bags. “The Ultimate Guide to Chanel Bags” is an indispensable illustrated book for anyone who wants to learn more about Chanel and handbags.
