Information about CHANEL classic Flap Bags

 

History


Introduced in 1983 when Karl Lagerfeld became creative director of Chanel.

 

The bag was meant to be a modern version of the iconic 2.55 bag, originally designed by Coco Chanel and introduced in 1955.

 

 

Design aspects of the Clssic Flap Bag


The new bag introuduced in 1983 was modified in several important ways:

  • The Mademoseille clasp was replaced by a new clasp featuring the double “C” logo, now so iconic of Chanel
  • The strap chain was added a leather strap (matching the bags leather and color), interwoven inside it.
  • The bag was redesigned to only have one flap instead of two.
  • The bag was offered with an option of a chevron stitched quilted pattern aside from the traditional diamond quilted style.

 

After some time offering single flap bags it was determined the second flap actually had a very important function, it gave over long periods of use and wear a rigidity the single flap did not. Many single flap bags over time became slouchy and a little deformed. This realization made Chanel eventually offer the option of single flap and double flap Classic Flap bags.

 

 

CHANEL 11.12 Flap Bag


The Chanel Classic Flap bag is now known and the 11.12 (since the spring of 2021 Collection).

 

The reason for the name is that the most common size of the Flap Bag is 26cm and at some point that type of bag had a product code of 01112, Chanel decided in 2021 to rename that specific type of bag as the 11.12.

 

Interestingly enough product code 01112 was a medium size bag but now all sizes are called 11.12.
