The Chanel Metallic Lambskin Quilted Medium Double Flap in turquoise is a vibrant, seasonal iteration of the brand’s most recognizable silhouette, the 11.12 handbag. This specific colorway, often associated with collections like 2021 (30-series serial numbers) or seasonal Cruise releases, is highly sought after for its luminous “iridescent” or “mermaid” finish.
Core Design & Material
-
Material: Crafted from luxurious diamond-quilted lambskin leather that has been treated with a metallic or pearlescent coating to achieve a light-reflecting turquoise luster.
-
Double Flap Construction: Features the signature internal second flap which provides added structure and security, including a hidden “love letter” zippered compartment on the underside of the outer flap.
-
Hardware: Most turquoise metallic models are paired with silver-tone metal. The iconic CC turn-lock closure and leather-interwoven chain strap match the hardware finish.
-
Interior: Typically lined in tonal turquoise leather to maintain the “Pure” monochromatic or high-contrast look.

Medium Dimensions: Measures approximately 25.5 cm W x 16 cm H x 8 cm D (roughly 10″ x 6.3″ x 3.1″).

Internal Layout: The interior is meticulously organized with specialized compartments, including two gusseted pockets and a main open space designed for daily essentials.

Carry Style: The adjustable chain strap offers a single drop of approximately 44 cm for shoulder/crossbody wear or a doubled drop of 24 cm for a shorter shoulder carry.
