The Chanel Lambskin Quilted Maxi Single Flap in black with silver hardware is a highly coveted vintage model, as the single flap configuration in the Maxi size was discontinued around 2014. Collectors specifically seek out the single flap version because it is significantly lighter and offers more internal room than the modern double flap models.
Core Design & Material
-
Material: Crafted from premium black lambskin leather, featuring the house’s signature soft, smooth, diamond-quilted pattern.
-
Silver Hardware: Accented with polished silver-tone metal, including the interlocking CC turn-lock closure and the leather-threaded chain strap.
-
Single Flap Advantage: This model lacks the internal second flap found in newer versions, allowing the bag to expand more easily and providing a larger, more open interior compartment.
-
Lining: The interior is typically lined in burgundy leather, maintaining a classic house code.
Specifications & Utility
-
Dimensions: As the largest in the Classic Flap line, it measures approximately 33 cm W x 23 cm H x 10 cm D (approx. 13″ x 9″ x 4″).
-
Internal Layout: Features one main spacious compartment with internal zippered and patch pockets.
-
Exterior Pocket: Includes the signature rear “smile” pocket for quick access to essentials like a phone or cards.
-
Strap Drop: The chain strap has a drop of approximately 30 cm (12″) when doubled and roughly 55–60 cm when worn as a single strap, suitable for shoulder or crossbody carry for some users.
