Watch how the iconic quilted Chanel handbag is made

Chanel’s new handbag campaign, entitled “The Chanel Iconic”, shines the spotlight on one of the Chanel’s forever classics: the 11.12 bag. Commonly referred to as the Chanel Flap bag, the quilted shoulder style takes the blueprint of the 2.55 bag and gives it a twist. Here is why the Chanel 11.12 bag is still the ultimate French-girl chic fashion investment.

Chanel's “Iconic” Campaign Shows Why Its Flap Bag Is The Ultimate

It goes without saying that Chanel's Classic Flap Bag is one of fashion's most iconic styles. Soon after Karl Lagerfeld joined the label in the mid-1980's, the purse made its debut. Designed with the modern woman in mind, the Classic Flap featured a more recognizable "CC" turn-lock closure and leather woven straps. Its popularity was nearly instantaneous, but along with the fame came counterfeiting concerns. In attempt to limit counterfeits, Chanel first began manufacturing handbags and accessories with serial number stickers in 1986. Used as a benchmark of authenticity, these serial numbers are attached to the interiors of Chanel pieces and indicate when a piece was manufactured. Each of these numbers is unique to the bag in which it's found, and no number is repeated.  NOTE: Serial numbers will match the authenticity card, however they will not be able to allow you to determine the style/model of the bag.

The best places to buy Vintage Chanel bags online It can be hard to find vintage or pre-owned Chanel bags as I find that Designer consignment shops do carry some, but the selection is not great and it always changes so you would need to stop in pretty frequently. After doing some research of where to buy pre-owned and vintage Chanel bags online, I pulled together this list of the best places to buy Vintage Chanel Bags online. A lot of these sites do sell other designer brands but since I’m mainly interested in Chanel, that’s where I focused on. THE PURSE FORUM […]
