The Chanel Metallic Brocade Quilted Medium Double Flap in Dark Grey is a seasonal, high-fashion reinterpretation of the house’s most iconic silhouette, known for its textured finish and shimmering metallic undertones. While the “Medium” (M/L) size is a cornerstone of the permanent collection, brocade versions are typically released as part of limited Métiers d’Art or Fall-Winter collections, such as the 22A or 2015 offerings.
