The Chanel Patent Quilted Jumbo Single Flap in navy is a highly coveted vintage piece, primarily because the Single Flap design was discontinued in 2010 in favor of the current Double Flap model. This specific combination deep navy high-gloss leather with the lighter, more spacious Single Flap construction is considered a rare find on the secondary market.
Core Design & Material
-
Material: Crafted from navy blue diamond-quilted patent calfskin leather. The patent finish provides a glass-like, reflective shine that is more resilient to moisture than standard lambskin.
-
Signature Hardware: Most commonly paired with silver-tone metal hardware, featuring the iconic interlocking CC turn-lock closure.
-
Single Flap Benefit: Unlike modern “Double Flap” versions, this model has only the exterior flap, making the bag lighter in weight and easier to access.
-
Strap: Features the classic leather-interwoven chain strap that can be worn doubled for a shoulder carry or singled for a longer drop.
Specifications & Dimensions
-
Measurements: Approximately 30 cm W x 20 cm H x 10 cm D (11.8″ x 7.9″ x 3.9″).
-
Strap Drop: Double chain drop of ~33–34 cm and a single chain drop of ~60–64 cm.
