-It's called 2.55 because the very first bag was designed in February of 1955.
- On average it takes 18 working hours to produce 1 bag.
- There are more than 180 production steps in creating 1 bag.
- 50% of the bags are produced in black.
- One bag alone involves 6-15 people to create it.
- There are 7 collections a year that include more than 30 models.
- Out of 200-300 prototypes only 30 are selected.
- The inside and lining gets the same attention to detail as the outside.
