An iconic vintage piece from the house of Chanel, this 1996 Classic Flap Bag embodies timeless Parisian elegance and heritage craftsmanship. Designed under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld, the bag reflects the era’s refined approach to luxury—minimal, structured, and instantly recognizable.
Crafted from supple black lambskin leather, the exterior features Chanel’s signature diamond quilting, paired with the classic interlocking CC turn-lock closure. The leather is notably soft with a smooth, glossy finish that develops character over time, making each vintage piece unique.
