The Ultimate Guide to Chanel Bags by Alexandra Fullerton is the perfect illustrated book for anyone who is passionate about the iconic handbags of the legendary fashion house Chanel. As part of the new Brand Bible series, this 192-page book is dedicated to Chanel's most famous bag models, their stories and the people who made them famous. With stunning photography and exciting insights into the vision behind the designs, the fascination with Chanel bags is taken to a whole new level.

The history of Chanel is inextricably linked to the revolutionary Coco Chanel, who not only changed the fashion world, but also the silhouette of women from the ground up. Her bags, such as the iconic 2.55, which was first introduced in February 1955 and is still considered one of the most coveted handbags in the world, are not only a fashion object, but also a symbol of timeless elegance and practical luxury. The Boy Bag and the Classic Flap (11.12) are also among the most popular models. These bags not only characterize modern street style, they also reflect the history of Chanel.

In The Ultimate Guide to Chanel Bags, the named classics are presented, but the it-bags, special editions and the artistic minaudieres are not neglected either. Author Alexandra Fullerton, who worked as a fashion director for renowned magazines for many years, uses her expert knowledge and passion for fashion and style to guide readers through the fascinating world of Chanel bags and explains how the models became icons in pop culture - in films, on the red carpet and in the fashion world. She also looks at the exquisite craftsmanship behind the artful handbags and discusses the importance of authenticity in the vintage and pre-loved bag universe.
