Chanel Classic Flap Bag Size Guide
This picture illustrates the relative different sizes (approx.) of Chanel Classic Flap Bag on a silhouette of 165cm/5’5″ height.

Chanel classic flap bag was introduced by Karl Lagerfeld (1933 – 2019) when he joined Chanel fashion house as the creative director in the 1980s. Chanel 11.12 is another name for classic flap bag but is less commonly used.

Chanel 2.55 actually refers to all types of flap bag extended from Chanel 2.55 with Mademoiselle lock. However, to better differentiate the varieties, the term Chanel Classic Flap Bag is widely used to refer to Chanel flap bag with a CC clasp at the front, regardless whether it is in chevron, diamond or any other kind of stitching and materials. Even Chanel website uses Classic Handbag to refer to this type of flap bag.

Now, let’s look at the sizes.
