The Single Flap embodies Chanel’s relaxed elegance. Unlike the double-flap model, this version has no interior flap, offering a cleaner silhouette and more generous interior space – ideal for use from morning to night without unnecessary bulk. Often crafted between the late 1980s and early 2000s, these bags are made of supple, soft lambskin, adorned with 24-karat gold-plated hardware, and feature all the hallmarks of classic Chanel design: diamond quilting, the interlocking CC clasp, and a braided leather chain.

Open the flap and you’ll discover one of the most elegant signatures: a burgundy leather lining enhanced with embossed gold lettering, a nod to the red uniforms Coco Chanel wore at the orphanage where she grew up. Understated, iconic, and increasingly rare, the Single Flap bag remains, quite rightly, a must-have for vintage collectors.
