Description
A Chanel Double Flap Bag in 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—has a leather-woven chain strap and the Double-C turnlock closure, while Coco's original design features a chain strap and the iconic Mademoiselle lock.
Condition: Good
Overall: Scratches and scuff marks can be seen on the leather, with most of the wear found on the underside of the flaps and in the burgundy interior. Additionally, there are several small black stains on the burgundy leather in both the rear exterior pocket and the main compartment beneath the flaps. The bag also has an aged scent.
