The Single Flap captures the essence of Chanel in its simplest version. Unlike the double flap, this version does not have an inner flap for a more elegant and spacious feel, perfect for wearing day or night without extra bulk. Often made from the late 80s to the early 2000s, these bags feature buttery-soft lambskin, 24K gold-plated hardware, and all the hallmarks of classic Chanel design: diamond quilting, the interlocking CC clasp, and a leather-braided chain.

Open the flap and you will discover one of the most elegant signatures of all: a burgundy leather lining paired with embossed gold lettering, a nod to the red uniforms Coco Chanel wore at the convent orphanage where she grew up. Discreet, iconic, and increasingly rare, the Single Flap bag remains a favorite among vintage collectors for good reason.
