I Can’t Stop Staring at This Printed Chanel Flap

A strong contender for this season's It-item

While Chanel is revered for classics like the 11.12 and the 2.55, which are highly sought after by handbag lovers in neutrals and carry-over colors, the brand’s seasonal bags are highly coveted by collectors and fashion fans alike.

Every once in a while, a certain style picks up steam, becoming a most-wanted item that’s highly sought-after, leaving collectors clamoring to get their hands on one.

Back in 2021, it was a boldly colored printed Classic Flap that became the coveted item from the second drop of Fall/Winter 2021 (21K).

MOST WANTED

It was the era of post-pandemic dressing when looks were louder, brighter, and more fun. Virginie Viard emblazoned the Classic Flap with a rainbow of CHANELs. I, along with the rest of the fashion world, was obsessed.

The bag became so coveted and hard to find that even now, it is being sold on the resale market for over $18K. Virginie Viard is at it again this season, offering an array of fun bags, with many in the running to be the It-item of the season.

Practical or not, I love a printed fabric bag, and I just cannot get enough of the Classic 11.12 in multi-color CCs. If you’re a floral girl, another version adds a floral print to the colorful CCs, plus adorable embroidered rosettes. File this under a bag I certainly don’t need but definitely want.

PS- for anyone who’s wondering, my birthday is May 1st.

The prices for these cheap bags (making, materials and how they look) are just ridiculous

Yes feels like the execs at Chanel would be laughing ha

People with more money than sense?

That could be said for any luxury handbag.

It looks like a Vera Bradley bag to me.

OMG this is exactly what I was thinking. Can you even imagine of ever comparing a Chanel to Vera Bradley? The time has come…

These are dark days, indeed 😂

I like it. It’s fun and casual.

Agree with some of the comments, it looks like a fake!

Lynx

Wow! No thanks, not even for 5 euro and definitely not that price! Crazy money for a toy fake looking bag.

Catherine G.

Not a fan.

I had a Chanel wallet on a chain in navy and white-very cute- but good luck keeping the fabric looking new and clean-never again will I buy fabric unless I win the lottery and can throw it out after a year.

Ali A

Eew.

That’s the only feedback needed.

Hardest pass, ever.

Not a fan, it looks like a cheap knock-off to me.
