Suede Lambskin Scallop Quilted Medium Pagoda Flap Purple

The Chanel Suede Lambskin Scallop Quilted Medium Pagoda Flap in Purple is a rare, artisan-focused piece characterized by its unique architectural silhouette and intricate stitching. This model is often part of Chanel’s “Metiers d’Art” or specialty seasonal collections, showcasing the house’s ability to blend unconventional materials with classic handbag design.

Core Design & Material

• Material: Crafted from deep purple suede calfskin, providing a rich, matte texture that enhances the depth of the color.

• Quilting: Features a distinct scallop or “wave” quilted pattern, a departure from the traditional diamond quilt, which adds a fluid, organic movement to the bag’s exterior.

• Hardware: Accented with ruthenium or “aged” silver-tone metal, including a unique rectangular CC logo press-lock closure that features a vintage, industrial aesthetic.

• Strap: Equipped with an interwoven ruthenium chain and purple leather-threaded strap, which can be adjusted for shoulder or shorter hand carry.

Specifications & Functionality

• Pagoda Silhouette: Named for its sculpted, slightly flared edges that resemble the tiered roofs of traditional pagoda architecture, giving the bag a more structured and artistic profile than a standard flap.

• Approximate Dimensions: This “Medium” size typically measures roughly 10″ L x 6.5″ H x 3″ D (approx. 25.5 x 16.5 x 7.5 cm).

• Interior: traditionally lined in tonal purple lambskin or fabric and includes:

  • One main internal compartment.

  • One internal zippered pocket for secure storage.
