In 1983-1984, Karl Lagerfeld introduced the CC lock, transitioning from the original 2.55 “Mademoiselle” lock. He modernised Chanel by introducing modern elements to the classic iconic quilted bags by adding his own design the iconic interlaced leather-chain and the interlocking (twist lock) the double CC locks during the 1984 Fall/Winter Ready-to-Wear Fashion shows in Paris.
