Now known as the 2.55, it was revolutionary because of its functionality; the shoulder bag freed women&#8217;s hands to do other things than hold a cumbersome handbag. While significant, this was not the bag that would ultimately become synonymous with her brand. It wasn\u2019t until Karl Lagerfeld took over as creative director in 1983 that the Chanel Classic Flap bag was created. Lagerfeld reinterpreted Chanel&#8217;s 2.55, adding a few significantly different features including a leather woven chain and the Double C turn-lock closure. The now-classic flap bag was an immediate success, garnering the attention of the fashion world and becoming a status symbol around the globe. Since then, it has not lost traction and continues to be in demand.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In spring 2021, Chanel renamed the Classic Flap the 11.12, named for the original Medium Classic Flap\u2019s style code \u2014 A01112. The Medium Classic Flap eventually evolved into a number of sizes and styles, and they now all carry the official name 11.12.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">11.12 Sizing Reference<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">The Classic Flap bag, or 11.12, is popular thanks to not only its simplicity, but its availability in a myriad of leathers, sizes, and hardware combinations. There are two main variations of the Classic Flap, a double or single flap. The double flap version has an extra interior flap that closes off the interior and separates it from the main exterior flap. The single flap version only consists of the main exterior flap. It is often discussed that the single flap version is lighter, significantly so for the two largest models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">While the main concept of the 11.12 has remained the same, some of the sizes have varied in proportion over the years. These are current sizes offered (double flap variations pictured):<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243;

The iconic diamond quilting has become a signature for the brand while the chevron version has become more popular with younger customers looking for a classic piece with an updated feel.<\/p>\n<p>The 11.12 has been available in many types of materials over the years ranging from various leathers to interesting textiles. However, the two most popular options are caviar (referred to as grained calfskin) and lambskin. Caviar is recognizable by its unique texture, which is where the name comes from as it resembles caviar. Lambskin is known for its buttery smooth finish and delicate nature.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to hardware there have been several changes over time due to the availability of materials. In the past, hardware was plated in 24-carat gold, but the practice has been discontinued as of 2008. Currently the most common colors available are silver, gold, light gold, and So Black hardware. Occasionally, special editions will be made in other hardware options including matte or antiqued silver or gold, ruthenium, and iridescent metals.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-1-v2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 Diamond Quilting&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Diamond Quilting&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-caviar.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 Caviar or Grained Calfskin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Caviar or Grained Calfskin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-2-v2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 Chevron Quilting&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Chevron Quilting&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-qulted-lambskin.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 Lambskin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Lambskin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">11.12 Special Editions<\/h2>\n<p>While Chanel tends to stick with classic or seasonal combinations, there are often limited editions that they will release to commemorate special collections.

These pieces are elaborately embellished, handmade, and incredibly expensive, sometimes two to three times the price of their unembellished counterparts. Typically, serious art collectors purchase these collectible handbags as art rather than wearable accessories.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-art-1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art&#8221; title_text=&#8221;M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-art-2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art 2&#8243; title_text=&#8221;M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art 2&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-art-3.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art 3&#8243; title_text=&#8221;M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art 3&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-art-4.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art 4&#8243; title_text=&#8221;M\u00e9tiers D\u2019art 4&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;9px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-sub-header reduced\">Exotic Skins<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">With the name Chanel, luxury and opulence immediately come to mind. So it is not surprising that Chanel would use exotic materials for their most popular handbag. The Classic Flap has been created in exotics like ostrich, python, alligator, and crocodile, even going as far as combining these with their elusive So Black hardware combination. However, in 2018, Chanel announced they will no longer be using exotics in any of their future collections, resulting in a slight spike in resale prices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">Chanel has proven it is the pinnacle of luxury over the years, but it\u2019s their ability to keep its core handbag relevant over a span of more than three decades that warrants special acknowledgment. With the constant rotation of handbag models coming and going, it\u2019s always a great idea to invest in a staple that will bring years of enjoyment. The Chanel Classic Flap is one such bag that will prove to be one of your truest loves.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-114px|auto||auto||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-exotics-1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 Exotic Skin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Exotic Skin&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/chanel-101-exotics-2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Chanel Classic Flap 101 Exotic Skin 2&#8243; title_text=&#8221;Exotic Skin 2&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|40px|0px|40px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">You May Also Like&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;3&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;22&#8243; use_manual_excerpt=&#8221;off&#8221; excerpt_length=&#8221;0&#8243; show_author=&#8221;off&#8221; show_date=&#8221;off&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; show_excerpt=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.1&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Light|||on|||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; meta_font=&#8221;Maison Book||||||||&#8221; meta_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; meta_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_transition_duration=&#8221;0ms&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DESIGNER 101 Chanel\u00a0101:The Classic Flap, also known as The 11.12 By Koyaana R.
