Ready to uncover the perfect Classic Flap for <\/span>you<\/span><\/i>? Read on or watch the video below!\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z1MiqolLZx0[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n The history behind (any) product really is what makes something so special. In the case of Chanel, it’s legendary<\/a>. Chanel is a huge deal, and honoring its history is the center of everything for the French house. The Classic Flap\u2019s iconic status embodies that chic <\/span>histoire<\/span><\/i> we all can\u2019t get enough of – and in turn, the global demand (and, erm, low supply) undoubtedly perpetuate this style\u2019s growing value.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Chanel Classic Flap is one of the most important, celebrated, and recognizable handbags in the fashion industry. But before the Classic Flap came about, there was the original. And that bag was? The 2.55. There is so much to love about the 2.55<\/a>. This bag features the iconic Mademoiselle lock and gorgeous metal chain. She was born in February 1955 (hence the name) and she\u2019s gorgeous. It\u2019s important to note though: this style is not to be confused with the Reissue 2.55 (which looks similar). Reissue bags were introduced under Karl Lagerfeld in 2005 to celebrate the 2.55 style\u2019s 50th birthday. Today, the term Reissue refers to the newer produced 2.55 bags.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10860″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1652902782678{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”]\t\n\t\t\t\tShop All Reissue<\/span><\/a>\n\t[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Now, back to the topic of the Classic Flap. Although related to the 2.55, when we think of the Classic Flap we all think of something else entirely – and you probably do too. By any chance are you thinking of puffy quilts, CC hardware, and a gorgeous interwoven leather and chain strap? Yes please! These modernized touches were brought to fruition under Karl Lagerfeld in the 80s and have truly changed the game. That\u2019s the moment the signature Classic Flap was born. Also created under Karl Lagerfeld is the iconic Chanel 19<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Due to the Flap’s undying popularity, it also comes as no surprise that the Chanel Flap is highly counterfeited.

What do these mean? Simply put, \u201csingle\u201d and \u201cdouble\u201d refer to the number of flaps present on the bag. Let\u2019s distinguish the two.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n A lot of vintage flaps have single flaps, but these were discontinued in 2014. Chanel East-West Flaps, discontinued in 2010, are not part of the core classic range. But if you\u2019re seeking a Chanel style with a \u201cclassic flap look\u201d (and vintage), then East-West<\/span> bags <\/span><\/a>are worth looking at!\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10842″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10843″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1652901127357{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”]\t\n\t\t\t\tShop Single Flaps<\/span><\/a>\n\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today, smaller Chanel Flap sizes have single flaps, which include the Mini Flap sizes. Although these sizes have been viewed as seasonal items coming in different textile and color variations, they are now thought to be considered part of the core range of Flap bags.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Traditionally, both 2.55 bags and Classic Flaps have double flaps (which means one exterior flap and one interior flap). The double flaps are included throughout the core sizes. And those sizes are? Well, keep reading!\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10844″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10845″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1652901127357{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”]\t\n\t\t\t\tShop Double Flaps<\/span><\/a>\n\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n The core Chanel Classic Double Flap collectsion include sizes <\/span>Small<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Medium<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Jumbo<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Maxi<\/span><\/a>. As mentioned before, the smaller sizes have a single flap and those include the Extra Mini Flap, the Mini Square Flap, the Mini Rectangular Flap, as well as the Mini Top Handle Rectangular Flap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Which size is right for you? Well, one thing to note is if you\u2019re looking at vintage, you may notice some slight size and design variations compared to the newer styles. Don\u2019t be alarmed, it\u2019s just something to keep in mind due to the age of the bags.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When choosing a size, it comes down to this: what are you going to carry inside it? The Medium size is a top-selling size here and outside of Wholesale Replica Hermes Jewelry – likely because it\u2019s not too big and it\u2019s not too small. Although, our procurement experts tell us that the Small size is making a huge comeback!<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to be able to carry all, and I mean ALL your essentials (maybe you need it for <\/span>going back to work<\/span><\/a>), then go bigger. The Jumbo or the Maxi can fit a 10\u201d-13\u201d laptop plus other items, and that might be for you. <\/span>Note<\/b>: the Maxi is substantially large.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Extra Mini Flap (the smallest of the bunch) has been discontinued in 2019. If this is a size you want, you won\u2019t be able to get it retail, but <\/span>we have them<\/span><\/a>! If you prefer a boxier shape with petite proportions, the <\/span>Mini Square Flap<\/span><\/a> is a great pick. The <\/span>Mini Rectangular<\/span><\/a> is slightly longer but still embodies that coveted \u201cclassic flap\u201d look and they\u2019re really popular now – and incredibly hard to get your hands on, of course.. If you want a mini bag (or <\/span>one with a top handle<\/span><\/a>), the Mini model is a solid choice! But the smallest bag that you can get that has the signature double flap? That is the <\/span>Small Double Flap<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10833″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10862″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10829″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10830″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10831″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10832″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n When dreaming about which material your new darling will possess, it\u2019s beneficial to remember that sizes and styles have textile limitations, so keeping that in mind will help you navigate your choices and get you closer to finding your perfect bag!\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n When it comes to <\/span>Chanel textiles<\/span><\/a>, nothing quite tops <\/span>Caviar<\/span><\/a> – a signature (and quite durable) type of grained calfskin. Besides just adoring the texture with your eyes, with just a small stroke you can immediately feel what makes Caviar leather so distinct from the rest. Nothing else exists in the world like it and Caviar has become synonymous with the embodiment of Chanel and Cheap Replica Chanel Gucci Shoes as a whole. It is the very reason why bags dressed in this material last so long, are high in demand, and of course, carry immense resale value.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10848″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1652901639509{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”]\t\n\t\t\t\tShop Caviar<\/span><\/a>\n\t[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pst<\/b>! In the event that you\u2019re also looking to add a wallet to the equation, be sure to skim through our in-depth post about <\/span>wallet style and textile recommendations<\/span><\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Heads up fashionphiles. Chanel discontinued both the Square and Rectangular Mini Flaps in Caviar. If a <\/span>Mini Caviar Flap<\/span><\/a> is important to you, be sure to browse our curated selection – or if you don\u2019t see what you\u2019re looking for, <\/span>set up an item alert for one<\/span><\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But aside from Caviar leather, you can find Chanel Classic Flaps dressed in <\/span>lambskin<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>calfskin<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>patent leather<\/span><\/a>. All these are truly stunning. On top of that, sometimes you will find unique iterations of the flap style dressed in <\/span>exotic<\/span><\/a>s, such as alligator or lizard skin. Plus you can find these bags in <\/span>iridescent leather<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>perforated lambskin<\/span><\/a>, which are all fun treatments that elevate the design. There are endless options. But just know leather requires care and the more you practice <\/span>handbag TLC<\/span><\/a> the longer you can enjoy your investment. Proper storage also goes a long way! Watch <\/span>this quick how-to store your bag video, here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10849″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10851″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10852″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Another important detail that often gets overlooked (unless you\u2019re keen on details) is the type of flap quilts. The first type that comes to mind is Chanel\u2019s gorgeous diamond quilting, which is the classic quilt. For those looking for something a little edgier, there are also chevron-quilted<\/span> flaps<\/span> that scream bold and fun. You\u2019ll notice more Chanel <\/a><\/span>Boy bags<\/span> with chevron quilting, but a Classic Flap<\/a> in chevron is a pretty pick, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, plain flaps with no quilts at all are an option too (part of the Pure line) if you prefer the leather to shine all on its own. But heads up, they\u2019re not as common so if that is something you strongly desire, it may have to look a little extra harder before you find the perfect one you want! Patience is a virtue, my friend.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10847″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10846″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Erm, and if you think it stopped at leather, it does not! <\/span>Chanel tweed<\/span><\/a> is an iconic staple and tweed flap bags truly applaud the heritage, feminist roots, and vision that its founder Coco Chanel embraced and embodied throughout her career. <\/span>Chanel tweed bags<\/span><\/a> come in many notable patterns, such as metallic, herringbone, houndstooth, and more. So it really comes down to what you find attractive and what you want to wear! Explore the patterns available to shop now, and see what speaks to you. Learn about the different Chanel tweed patterns, here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10853″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Aside from these mentioned, there is a boatload of materials Chanel uses. Others include <\/span>denim<\/span><\/a>, PVC (like these <\/span>Coco Splash flap bags<\/span><\/a> – again, not part of the core line but it very much resembles that \u201cflap\u201d look if that\u2019s what you\u2019re going for), suede (available in many of Chanel\u2019s mini flaps from the current line), velvet, and cotton canvas to name a few. Leave it to Chanel to use nearly every luxury material available to give their iconic handbag so many gorgeous looks!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10858″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Chanel hardware used to be 24k gold, but this kind of hardware was discontinued in 2008. Today Chanel offers a wide variety of hardware options and the most common shades include silver, gold, light gold, and <\/span>So Black<\/span><\/a>. The release of rose gold plated hardware (introduced for <\/span>21B<\/span>)<\/span>, only comes in lambskin\u2026 for now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Special editions may reveal unique hardware such as gradient hardware, aged gold or silver hardware, ruthenium, enamel, lacquered tone-in-tone hardware from the incognito line, and other interesting finishes. Hardware is like the jewelry to the bag, so it all comes down to the details.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10840″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10841″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10837″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”10838″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n It\u2019s no secret that certain Chanel colors are extremely sought after. <\/span>Their seasonal color releases are not random by any means. Select shades become nearly iconic simply because certain color and textile combinations are made available (or made in smaller quantities) in certain sizes and styles, and sometimes only offered in certain countries.<\/span><\/p>\n For instance, that gorgeous Brown for 21P is a caramel dream. This color comes in both caviar and lambskin, and depending on the textile of choice the color may appear a little lighter or darker. If you love browns and beiges, check out this post<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n That \u201cbarbie\u201d pink for 22P (known as Dark Pink) is incredibly high in demand, too. While knowing it only comes in Caviar, that means the color is also limited to certain styles. The pinks just keep on getting better. In fact, when comparing seasons, pinks are very distinct. Don\u2019t believe me? <\/span>Read more about Chanel pinks<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10854″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10855″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10856″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10857″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n As with every hot topic, it\u2019s always wise to save the best for last. And by best, I mean the most talked about topic in regards to Chanel besides how coveted the brand is. Prices *shocker*. If you\u2019re curious about Chanel’s<\/span> resale value give this post a look<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In summary, Chanel\u2019s price increases<\/a> are nothing new and at this rate (a few times a year), are to be expected. Spend more, get more? For those wondering it looks like the <\/span>Peihuo phenomenon<\/span><\/a> \u201cgoes against the experience that the brand strives to offer\u201d according to an issued statement by Chanel. But nevertheless, it can still feel overwhelming when it comes to finding (and eventually getting to buy) your dream Chanel bag. At the end of the day fashionphiles, investing in anything Chanel is always a smart choice. Not only is it an investment towards yourself but it will reap rewards in the future – whether you decide to pass it down or sell it!\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Actually, this is the best part… To ensure that you sound like you actually know Cheap Replica Chanel Gucci Shoes fashion (<\/span>there\u2019s more on that here<\/span><\/a>), we have to throw this little tidbit here for you. That is, the Chanel Classic Flap is also referred to as 11.12. This new name emerged during Spring 2021 and references the original Flap\u2019s style code, which was A01112.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHistory of the Chanel Flap Bag<\/h4>\n
