The Chanel Iridescent Caviar Chevron Quilted Medium Double Flap in Black is a highly sought-after, luminous take on the 11.12 iconic silhouette. Distinguished by its “17B” (Fall/Winter 2017) production, this model is prized for its rare iridescent finish that subtly shifts in light, offering a sophisticated alternative to standard matte caviar leather.
