A Chanel Classic Flap Bag in supple lambskin leather. The Flap Bag has a storied history: it was first debuted by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in the '50s and then later re-envisioned by Karl Lagerfeld in the '80s. In 2005, Lagerfeld rereleased Coco's original 2.55 design as the Reissue (2.55 refers to the month and year—February 1955—of Coco's original design).
The Flap Bag comes in many different styles. The most common materials are calfskin, lambskin and caviar, though it is available in more exotic leathers such as lizard and ostrich. The most common sizes are Mini, Small, Medium, Jumbo and Maxi. Lagerfeld's design—to which this particular bag belongs—features a leather-woven chain strap and the always-popular Double-C turnlock closure, while Coco's design has a chain strap and the iconic Mademoiselle lock.
Condition:Good
Overall: There is light allover scratching to both the outer leather and interior leather, with more noticeable scratching to the leather on the underside of the flap. Additionally, there is light scuffing on the exterior corners. The hardware is still shiny with no noticeable wear.
Accessories: Includes dust bag and box.
