Lambskin Quilted Medium Kelly Flap Bag Black

The Chanel Lambskin Quilted Medium Kelly Flap Bag in black with gold hardware is a premier vintage investment piece, highly coveted for its structural “trapezoid” silhouette and sophisticated top-handle design. Often referred to as the “Kelly” due to its resemblance to the iconic Hermès model, this bag was primarily produced during the 1990s and early 2000s before being reintroduced in varied forms for contemporary collections.

Core Design & Material

• Material: Crafted from premium black lambskin leather, featuring the house’s signature soft, buttery texture and diamond-quilted pattern.

• Signature Hardware: Features gold-tone metal hardware, with vintage models (pre-2008) typically boasting 24k gold plating for a rich, deep shine.

• Closure: Secured by the classic CC turn-lock closure on a front flap.

• Handle: Equipped with a sturdy black leather rolled top handle for handheld carry.

Specifications & Utility

• Internal Organization: The interior is typically lined in black matte leather and includes:

  • One main spacious compartment.

  • One internal zippered pocket with a logo pull.

  • One slip pocket underneath the rear wall for organization.

• Exterior Features: Many versions include the signature rear “half-moon” patch pocket for quick-access items.

• Dimensions (Medium): Approximately 26 cm W x 16 cm H x 7 cm D (approx. 10″ x 6″ x 2.5″).

• Carry Style: While originally designed as a top-handle bag without a shoulder strap, some vintage resellers offer removable aftermarket straps for crossbody versatility.
