First introduced in 1983 by Karl Lagerfeld, the Classic Flap quickly became the ultimate status bag. This is the improved version of Coco Chanel’s original 2.55: the CC turnlock (instead of the Mademoiselle lock) and the leather-interwoven “chain” strap. Caviar leather is Chanel’s most resilient leather option — crafted from calfskin with an embossed grainy texture resembling caviar beads, it resists scratches and wear far better than lambskin. The bag keeps its shape beautifully, making it perfect for daily wear. The double flap adds security while the burgundy interior lining (an intentional Chanel signature) provides a hidden pocket for valuables. This piece includes a matching dust bag, authenticity card (with matching serial number to the hologram sticker), and original box, ensuring full collector presentation.
