Chanel Medium Classic Bags
The Chanel Classic Flap bag was a redesign by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s based on the 2.55 that Coco Chanel created in 1955. The Classic is the most iconic of all Chanel bags — and of the Chanel Classic bag line, the Medium continues to be the most enduring size. In most seasonal collections, the Classic Medium is offered in more colors and in different leathers than the Classic Small and Classic Mini.
The Chanel Medium Classic flap bag features the line’s signature diamond-pattern quilted stitching and interlocking ‘CC’ turn-lock clasp, instantly identifying it to discerning women worldwide. The back has a half moon pocket. Inside is a double flap, with a small zipper compartment under the first flap and an open pocket under the second flap. In the back are two open pockets separated by a lipstick holder. The strap of metal and leather that matches the bag can be made long or short, and reflects the genius of Coco Chanel who created the first “hands free” shoulder bag.
Measuring 9.9” x 6” x 2.5”, the Chanel Medium Classic flap bag comfortably accommodates all of your daily essentials. A chic choice for daytime, it also transitions beautifully for an elegant dinner. However, unlike the Chanel Classic Mini or even the Chanel Classic Small, the Medium does not serve as an evening bag. Although spacious enough to hold most necessities, it cannot hold an iPad or pair of shoes, making it too small to use for work or travel. A Chanel Classic Jumbo or Maxi is better suited for those occasions.
