Metallic Caviar Quilted Mini Rectangular Flap Green

The Chanel Metallic Caviar Quilted Mini Rectangular Flap in green is a rare and highly sought-after seasonal piece, often appearing in specific limited collections like the 18S (Spring/Summer 2018) “Emerald Green” or more recent iridescent variations. This model combines the durability of grained calfskin with a luminous metallic finish, making it a “unicorn” for collectors.

Core Design & Material

Material: Crafted from quilted caviar leather (pebbled calfskin), which has been treated with a metallic or pearlescent finish to create a high-shine, light-reflecting effect.
Signature Hardware: Most green metallic variants are paired with light gold-tone metal. The 18S Emerald Green is famous for its “champagne” gold hardware.
Structure: Features a rigid, rectangular silhouette with the iconic CC turn-lock closure and a leather-interwoven chain strap.
Durability Advantage: Unlike metallic lambskin, metallic caviar is highly resistant to scratches and scuffs, making it one of the few high-shine bags suitable for regular use.

Specifications & Utility

Dimensions: Approximately 20 cm W x 12 cm H x 6 cm D (roughly 8″ x 4.7″ x 2.4″).
Internal Layout: Typically features a tonal green leather lining with one main compartment, a zip pocket on the rear wall, and a smaller slip pocket underneath.
Carry Style: Includes a fixed chain strap with a drop of approximately 22 to 23 inches (56–58 cm), allowing for comfortable crossbody or long shoulder carry.
Capacity: Large enough to hold modern essentials, including an iPhone (standard or Pro models), a cardholder, keys, and a lipstick.
