Chanel - Timeless Classic - Bag

CHANEL Rare Watercolor Classic Single Flap Multicolor Leather Gold Hardware The kind of CHANEL that looks more like wearable art than a handbag — and yes, that is exactly why collectors chase it. • Brand: CHANEL • Item Type: Flap Bag / Shoulder Bag • Collection/Model: Watercolor Classic Single Flap • Size: 10” x 6.5” x 3” • Color: Multicolor Watercolor Print • Material: Printed Quilted Leather • Sticker 13764769 • Vintage • 2009' - 2010' • Hardware: Gold-Tone • Closure: Signature CC Turn-Lock • Construction: Single-Flap Design • Exterior Pocket: Rear Slip Pocket • Strap/Carry: Leather-Woven Gold-Tone Chain Shoulder Strap • Features: Rare Watercolor Printed Leather, Diamond Quilting & Classic Flap Construction • Serial/Sticker: Intact & Visible • Included: CHANEL Dust Bag & Certificate Of Authenticity • Why You’ll Love It: This is one of those CHANEL bags that does absolutely nothing quietly. The watercolor print turns the iconic quilted Classic Flap silhouette into something that feels almost hand-painted, with layers of color shifting across the leather in a way that makes every angle look a little different. What makes this one especially exciting is that it is the harder-to-find single-flap Watercolor version rather than the more commonly encountered Double Flap. You still get all the unmistakable CHANEL details — diamond quilting, the CC turn-lock and leather-woven chain — but in a print that feels completely different from the standard neutrals. This is the bag for the collector who already knows what a Classic Flap is and wants the one everybody else in the room does not have. • Condition: Beautiful Pre-Owned Condition. The multicolor printed leather remains vibrant and visually striking with beautiful quilting and excellent overall structure. The gold-tone hardware and chain present beautifully. Normal evidence of careful previous use may be visible upon close inspection, but no major structural condition issues were noted. The serial sticker remains intact and visible. • Fun facts for collectors or resellers: CHANEL Watercolor Flaps are genuinely scarce on the secondary market, and exact comparable examples can be difficult to find because many search results mix together completely different Watercolor collections, Double Flaps, Boy Bags and printed canvas pieces. The single-flap Watercolor design is the important distinction here. Comparable collector-market examples have been positioned around the upper-$5,000 to mid-$6,000 range, which is why this should not be priced like an ordinary printed CHANEL flap.
