English term or phrase: to line 2.55
Dear colleagues, could you tell me what 'to line 2.55' stands for?
Here is the context:
For higher resilience than lambskin, we use sheepskin from New Zealand to line 2.55 and TC handbags.
Thank you in advance

Lining
It is very difficult to separate the lining at the bottom of the bag because it is so well constructed. Genuine Chanel lining lies flat against the bag. There are no visible lumps or bumps: the fit is tight with no wrinkles, consequently authentic lining fits snugly with no creasing. Reproductions often can be spotted on the quality and fit of the lining, because its lining below looks inferior and feels like it is made from a cheaper leather.

to *cover*


Explanation:
Just pretend that the verb *cover* replaces *line* in this case. That's basically what they are saying. That they use sheepskin from New Zealand to *cover* the inside of their 2.55 and TC handbags because it lasts longer.
Don't you just hate it when the fabric inside your bag tears? 😉
