Metallic Calfskin Quilted 2.55 Reissue 226 Flap Light Pink

The Chanel Metallic Calfskin Quilted 2.55 Reissue 226 Flap Bag in Light Pink is a legendary silhouette that honors the original design created by Gabrielle Chanel in February 1955. This “Jumbo” sized model in a metallic finish offers a modern, shimmering take on the house’s storied heritage.

Core Design & Material

• Material: Crafted from aged metallic calfskin leather, designed to have a vintage, “pre-worn” look that develops character over time.

• Quilting: Features the signature diamond-quilted pattern, inspired by the quilted jackets worn by jockeys.

• Closure: Equipped with the Mademoiselle turn-lock, a rectangular clasp that represents Coco Chanel’s status as a single woman.

• Strap: Includes a fully metal “bijoux” chain strap without leather threading, a key distinction from the Classic Flap.

• Interior: Traditionally features a double flap construction and is lined in leather, often in a tonal shade or the classic house burgundy.
