Chanel Medium Elastic Flap handbag





My very first Chanel handbag was a vintage medium preloved classic flap in lambskin with bekko resin.  Beautiful bag but because it was in a light beige color and in lambskin,  i used the bag THREE times in two years. 



So i sold it!   Eventually i used that money and bought this one BUT i first wanted to do my homework on it and i quickly learned there is little to no info on the Chanel Elastic flap bags.

These bags were released in 2012 and there were two sizes medium and large (or I've seen referred to also as jumbo.  This here is the medium with no pocket in the back but the larger one does have a pocket.  They retailed for 2300 and 3300 USD.   If I'm not mistaken there were four colors a beige, a burgundy as shown here, black and a green.

Beautiful bag you guys.  I do wish the smaller one also had a pocket in the back but oh well.   I wanted a non traditional Chanel handbag that still had some classic Chanel features like the iconic  CC closure and some aspect of quilting which this bag has.  This is the burgundy color but to me throws more brown.   The chain is thin but i believe substantial.    However this bag is rather small and doesn't hold much inside.  ðŸ˜‘


As mentioned above i bought this preloved from Fashionphile in very good condition except for one minor detail.
