Lambskin Medium Single Flap Black

The Chanel Lambskin Medium Single Flap in black with gold metal is a highly coveted vintage model, as the single flap configuration in this size was discontinued around 2014 to favor the traditional double flap structure. It is often praised for being more lightweight and spacious than its double flap counterpart while maintaining the same iconic exterior.

Core Design & Material

Material: Crafted from supple black lambskin, a material renowned for its buttery-soft texture and natural, luxurious sheen.
Single Flap Construction: Unlike the modern 11.12, this version lacks the internal “second” flap, offering a slimmer profile and a more open, spacious interior.
Quilting: Features the signature diamond-quilted stitching, which is typically flatter on vintage models compared to the more defined, “puffy” quilting found on newer bags.
Hardware: Adorned with gold-tone metal, including the iconic interlocking CC turn-lock closure. Vintage models produced before 2008 typically featured 24-karat gold-plated hardware, recognized for its deep, warm yellow tone.

Specifications & Utility

Handle & Strap: Equipped with the classic leather-interwoven gold chain strap that can be worn doubled for a shoulder carry (approx. 9.5″ drop) or as a single long strap for a lower drop (approx. 17″ drop).
Interior Configuration: Lined with smooth burgundy leather, it typically includes:
- One main compartment.
- One internal zippered pocket and multiple flat patch pockets.
Exterior Features: Includes the functional rear “smile” slip pocket for quick access to small essentials.
Dimensions (Medium): Approximately 25.5 cm W x 15.5 cm H x 6.5 cm D (approx. 10″ x 6.3″ x 2.5″).
