Karl Lagerfeld’s Reimagining the Chanel Flap bag:
When Karl Lagerfeld became Chanel’s creative director in 1983, he paid tribute to the iconic 2.55 bag while infusing it with his distinct artistic vision.
This resulted in the creation of the Classic Double Flap, which featured a refined leather-woven chain strap and the instantly recognizable interlocking
Double C turn-lock closure.
The Classic Double Flap was designed with a wide range of customization options, including different quilting styles (from the timeless diamond pattern to a
playful chevron), a variety of luxurious leathers, multiple sizes, and diverse hardware finishes. Unlike the original 2.55, Lagerfeld’s version incorporated
an additional interior flap, elevating the bag’s structure, sophistication, and practicality.
Legend has it that Coco Chanel herself used the discreet zip pocket beneath the outer flap to store her love letters, adding a layer of intrigue and romance
to the bag’s allure.
Meticulously handcrafted at Chanel’s renowned Métiers d’Art ateliers, each Classic Double Flap takes over 15 hours and 180 precise steps to craft.
Today, decades after its debut, the Classic Double Flap—now known as the 11.12—remains a coveted collector’s piece, continuing to captivate fashion lovers
and cementing its status as a timeless icon.
