Values here are published references for the model. Anything we could not verify on an open page is left as “not published yet” on purpose — we do not fill gaps with guesses.

Specifications in cm and inches

Every figure below has a record behind it on this site. Where the record has no value (interior and opening measurements are rarely published), the row says so instead of carrying a guess.

The dimensions come from the model record, which cites the published pages listed under Published specification.

How this size sits in the range

The rows below are the nearest published sizes on this site to the 2.55 Reissue, measured the same way (width, height, depth). They are here so a 25 cm body can be judged against a 24 cm and a 28 cm one instead of against a number alone.

Comparisons use published outside measurements. Two bags of the same width can hold different amounts, because depth and body rigidity decide more than width does.

Dimensions in cm and inches

One published figure for the 2.55 here, with the Classic Flap and Boy tiers quoted for scale.

The 2.55 Reissue is published at 24 x 16 x 7.5 cm, which is 9.4 x 6.3 x 3 inches. The line is named by number rather than by word, so the 24 cm body corresponds to the tier usually written 226; a listing that sells a 2.55 by word alone is describing a different size in the ladder.

Depth is what separates the 2.55 from the Classic Flap at the same height. At 7.5 cm it matches the Classic Flap Medium exactly, and it is 2.5 cm deeper than the Mini Rectangular at 20 x 13 x 5 cm — which is the difference between a phone-and-cards bag and one that also takes a wallet and a compact.

Inch values are the published centimetres converted at 2.54 cm per inch and rounded to one decimal, the same rule the guides use. Rows with no published figure say so.

How to recognise it in a photo

Rectangular flap carried on a full-chain strap and closed by the rectangular Mademoiselle lock rather than a CC turn-lock.

Not this style when: A CC turn-lock is a Classic Flap.

The 2.55 is separated from the Classic Flap by its clasp and its chain, not by its silhouette.

1. Shape and closure: Rectangular flap carried on a full-chain strap and closed by the rectangular Mademoiselle lock rather than a CC turn-lock.
2. Not this model when: A CC turn-lock is a Classic Flap.
3. Size in frame: the model record publishes 24 x 16 x 7.5 cm, so a photograph with a phone or a tape beside the bag is the only way to check the tier.
4. Strap and hardware: ask for the strap or handle laid straight, so the drop can be read rather than estimated from a worn photograph.
5. Look at the closure: the Mademoiselle lock is a rectangle rather than two interlocking letters, and the chain should show bare metal links along its length.
6. Interior: ask for a photo of the lining and the internal pockets — the model record publishes no interior figure for this model, so the photo is the record.

What fits inside

What a 24 x 16 x 7.5 cm structured flap takes, and where the stacking starts.

A phone, a full wallet, keys, a lipstick and a compact fit with the wallet and compact stacked rather than side by side. The 16 cm height keeps an A5 notebook standing above the flap line, so this is a personal-items bag rather than a document one.

The chain is part of how the bag carries: doubled, the 2.55 sits under the arm; single, it crosses the body. On a 24 cm body the load is not the constraint — a chain worn across the body with a full weight inside is what most carriers notice first.

• A phone, a cardholder, keys and a lipstick; the flat quilting takes a slim wallet but not a compact alongside it.
• A phone, a full wallet, keys and a lipstick fit; a compact fits if the wallet stays flat.
• An A5 notebook stands above the flap line, so documents do not belong in this tier.
• Doubled on the shoulder, the useful load is what the chain carries without digging in.

These capacity notes are read off the published outside dimensions and the tier ladder, not from a measured interior: the site has no published interior figure for this model, so treat them as a size guide rather than a packing list.

Capacity notes are read from the published 24 x 16 x 7.5 cm outside dimensions; no interior figure is published for this model.

How it compares with the next size up

Three published Chanel tiers bracket the 2.55 within 1.5 cm of width.

Against the Classic Flap Medium at 25.5 x 16 x 7.5 cm, the 2.55 matches on height and depth and is 1.5 cm narrower. Against the Mini Rectangular at 20 x 13 x 5 cm, the 2.55 is 4 cm wider, 3 cm taller and 2.5 cm deeper — a real tier step rather than a trim difference. The differences between the 2.55 and the Classic Flap are therefore in the clasp and the chain rather than in the size.

Across to the Boy line, the Old Medium at 24.9 x 15 x 8.9 cm sits within a centimetre of the 2.55 in width but is 1 cm shorter and 1.4 cm deeper, in a rigid body with a chunkier chain. That comparison is useful for anyone deciding between the two metal-clasp families in the same size band: the Boy is the boxier of the pair and the 2.55 the flatter.

Compared values are the published outside measurements listed in the ladder table above.

Materials, colours and hardware

No material is published for this model in the record, so the page leaves it blank rather than naming one.

What the photos show

The quilting on a 2.55 is flatter than on a Classic Flap, and the hardware carries a deliberately aged finish rather than a polished one.
