Description
Model History:
The So Black line by Chanel is part of an approach initiated under Karl Lagerfeld, consisting of revisiting iconic models in a monochrome version black, including jewelry usually gold or silver. The Cockpit bag, which appeared in the mid-2010s, is distinguished by its structured aesthetic and its details inspired by the utilitarian world. The 2016/2017 collection reflects this desire to modernize traditional quilting by integrating more technical and assertive elements, while retaining the fundamental codes of the Chanel house.
Exterior Details:
The quilted black lambskin has a supple appearance with a slight natural shine. The iconic diamond pattern is regular and well defined throughout the bag. The main closure is provided by a flap decorated with the lacquered black double C logo. Two rectangular metal clasps positioned on the lower part bring a structured and distinctive dimension to the Cockpit model. The chain interwoven with black leather allows it to be worn on the shoulder or across the body. The bottom of the bag is equipped with four black metal feet protecting the base. The balanced proportions provide capacity suitable for everyday use while maintaining a compact silhouette. It also has a second compartment located at the bottom of the bag where you can fit the equivalent of a pair of sunglasses.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in durable black textile, with a spacious main compartment and an interior pocket for organizing personal items. The internal construction maintains good performance, faithful to the exterior structure. The finishes are neat, with regular stitching and a functional interior closure.
