We’re used to seeing a Chanel handbag that comes quilted in black and has gold-tone hardware to accompany a luxurious look. That being said, I am surprised upon seeing this Chanel Reissue 2.55 Alligator Flap Bag, which is a more exotic version of the classic 2.55 purse.

This Chanel Reissue 2.55 Alligator Flap Bag is totally far from the usual 2.55 purse, since obviously, it doesn’t have the quilted design and it does not come in black. Rather, this bag is made from alligator skin, and I just love how it combines bluish shade with grey perfectly. Having such texture alone is enough to make this bag brilliant and definitely eye catching and luxurious. It also doesn’t have the double C logo that we usually see on most of Chanel’s bag designs, but still, looking at it already screams luxury and it doesn’t need to have anymore labeling.

This Chanel Reissue 2.55 Alligator Flap Bag then comes in the classic rectangular shape, and it opens through brass tone hardware on the front flap. The gorgeous chain strap as well looks interesting, though it is still different from other Chanel bags with leather and chain handles.

This Chanel Reissue 2.55 Alligator Flap Bag is actually part of the brand’s pre-spring 2010 collection, and based on its design, it would probably go for about $20,000 to $30,000.
