The Chanel 19 Medium Flap in Grey Lambskin is a sophisticated and modern alternative to traditional black, highly regarded for its versatile neutral tone and “pillowy” aesthetic. As a core member of the Chanel 19 collection one of Karl Lagerfeld’s final designs it blends historic house codes with a relaxed, contemporary silhouette.
Core Design & Material
-
Material: Crafted from shiny, supple grey lambskin leather, which is prized for its exceptionally soft, “puffy” texture and luxurious natural sheen.
-
Exaggerated Quilting: Features extra-wide diamond-quilted stitching, a defining hallmark of the Chanel 19 line that provides a modern, graphic look compared to the smaller quilting on classic flaps.
-
Mixed Hardware Finish: The bag is famous for its tri-colored “gourmette” chain, which artfully transitions between silver-tone, aged gold-tone, and ruthenium-finish metal within a single strap.
-
Signature Logo: Adorned with a prominent XL leather-interlaced CC turn-lock closure that matches the grey lambskin of the body.
