Metallic Grained Calfskin Medium Classic Pure Double Flap Gold Black

The Chanel Metallic Grained Calfskin Medium Classic Pure Double Flap in gold and black is a rare, high-contrast iteration of the house’s most iconic silhouette. Often released as a seasonal or limited-edition piece, it features a striking bicolor aesthetic that combines the luxury of metallic finishes with the durability of pebbled leather.

Core Design & Material

• Material: Crafted from metallic grained calfskin (commonly referred to as metallic caviar), which offers a pebbled, scratch-resistant texture with a luminous, light-reflecting coating.

• Bicolor Aesthetic: Typically features a metallic gold body paired with black leather accents or a tonal black interior, creating a “Pure” high-fashion contrast.

• Double Flap Construction: Includes the signature internal flap beneath the main exterior flap, providing enhanced security, structural integrity, and a hidden “love letter” zippered compartment.

• Signature Hardware: Usually adorned with polished gold-tone metal, including the iconic CC turn-lock closure and a leather-interwoven chain strap.

Specifications & Utility

• Medium Dimensions: Measures approximately 25.5 cm W x 15.5 cm H x 6.5 cm D (roughly 10″ x 6″ x 2.5″).

• Internal Layout: The double-flap interior is meticulously organized into several compartments, including a main open space and smaller slip pockets designed to maintain the bag’s shape.

• Carry Style: The adjustable chain strap allows for versatile styling; it can be worn as a long single strap for crossbody use or doubled for a shorter shoulder drop.

• Durability: The use of grained calfskin makes this metallic version significantly more robust than its lambskin counterparts, as the pebbled surface masks potential scuffs and protects the metallic foil.
