Description
History of the Model: The Classic Flap bag is a reinterpretation of the legendary 2.55, originally designed by Gabrielle Chanel in 1955. Karl Lagerfeld modernized it in the 1980s by integrating the golden CC clasp and an interwoven chain. This denim version is one of the special series introduced at the end of the 1990s, a period during which Chanel experimented with new materials in a more casual and urban spirit. Denim here embodies a creative audacity specific to the Lagerfeld era, while retaining the emblematic lines of the flap bag. This model echoes the capsule collections of the late 90s, where denim blends with the codes of Parisian luxury.
Exterior Details: The medium blue denim canvas is quilted in Chanel’s iconic diamond pattern. The fabric is printed with multi-colored logos, in pink, yellow, green and black tones, bringing a graphic and contemporary touch. The double C clasp in aged gold metal stands out subtly against the canvas. The chain interwoven with matching blue leather and matte gold links reinforces the vintage and authentic appearance of the model. The back of the bag has a practical patch pocket for quick access.
Interior Details: The interior is lined in blue denim canvas with a large zipped pocket on the interior flap and a second flat pocket. The identification plate engraved with “CHANEL Made in Italy” attests to the authenticity of the bag, as well as the serial number visible inside.
Product Condition: The bag is in new condition. The corners are crisp, the canvas has no stains or fading, and the hardware retains its shine. The seams are perfectly intact.
Care Tips: To preserve printed denim, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity. Occasional dry cleaning by a textile professional is recommended. Store the bag in its original cover and avoid friction with rough fabrics.
