CHANEL – Medium Classic Double Flap Bag

CHANEL – Caviar Medium Classic Double Flap Bag Circa: 2018 A true icon of the House of Chanel, the Classic Medium Double Flap is one of the most iconic bags in fashion history. This version pairs the renowned matte black quilted caviar leather with elegant silver-tone hardware, a combination that is both timeless and more contemporary than the traditional black and gold. Its balanced proportions also make it one of the most sought-after sizes in the Classic line. Introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s, the Classic Flap borrows several design elements from the legendary 2.55 conceived by Gabrielle Chanel in February 1955, to which Lagerfeld added, among other details, the interlocking Double C clasp, now one of Chanel’s most recognizable signatures. The Double Flap construction is particularly sophisticated: beneath the outer flap is a second inner flap, a defining feature of traditional Classic Flap bags. Caviar leather, recognizable by its slightly raised grain, is especially prized on Classic Flap bags for its structure and durability. The diamond quilting accentuates the bag’s proportions, while the silver-tone metal chain interwoven with black leather lends it a more understated, modern finish. Thanks to its adjustable double-loop chain, the bag can be carried on the shoulder with a short or longer strap. - House: Chanel - Model: Classic Medium Double Flap - Dimensions: Approximately 25.5 × 15.5 × 6.5 cm (10" × 6" × 2.5") - Material: Quilted caviar leather - Color: Black - Hardware: Silver-tone metal - Closure: Turn-lock CC clasp - Strap: Silver-tone chain interwoven with leather - Carry: Shoulder, single or double chain - Construction: Double flap - Interior: Leather Condition: 10/10 – Excellent Vintage Condition Current value: approximately $15,4500 CAD Included: Original Chanel dust bag and Chanel authenticity card.
