Lambskin Quilted Flap Shoulder Bag Chain Black

The Chanel Lambskin Quilted Flap Shoulder Bag with a gold chain in black is a quintessential luxury piece, often representing the house’s 11.12 Classic Flap lineage. This design is celebrated for its structured elegance and is a core pillar of the brand’s permanent collection.

Core Design & Material

• Material: Crafted from premium black lambskin leather, which is prized for its supple, buttery-soft feel and smooth, slightly luminous finish.

• Quilting: Decorated with signature diamond-quilted stitching, a hallmark of Chanel since 1955.

• Hardware: Features polished gold-tone metal, including the iconic interlocking CC turn-lock closure. Vintage models produced before 2008 typically feature 24k gold-plated hardware.

• Strap: Equipped with an interwoven gold chain and black leather shoulder strap that can be worn doubled for a shorter drop or as a single long strap.
