Handbags

A bag that really needs no introduction. The Chanel Classic Flap is one of the most iconic handbags ever designed. The quilted diamond pattern, the leather-interwoven shoulder chain, and the CC clasp make this a timeless design that has been loved for decades. This version is made of black lambskin leather, known for its buttery soft look and luxurious sheen. With a size of 22 x 18 cm, it is perfect for both daily use and an evening out. What makes this bag extra special is that the CC turn-lock clasp was officially replaced by Chanel in 2026. Originally, the bag had a snap closure with a CC logo; during an official Chanel service, this was replaced with the classic turn-lock closure. The Classic Flap originates from Coco Chanel's vision to give women more freedom of movement. The shoulder chain was revolutionary at the time: luxury without having to carry the bag in your hand. In the 1980s, Karl Lagerfeld gave the design its signature double CC turn-lock, making the bag one of the most recognizable luxury items in the world. Did you know? The Classic Flap has a small zipper pocket on the inside of the flap. According to legend, Coco Chanel kept her love letters here. Whether the story is entirely true remains a mystery, but the pocket is still called the secret pocket.
