Original Chanel 2.55 from the 50-60's

This is it! This is the fashion find that nearly stopped my heart and fulfilled a dream. It is not what it might appear however, on first glance. I didn't just by this from Chanel. I tracked this down half way across the world. It is an original 2.55 handbag from between 1955 and the 1960's. It was designed by Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel herself.
