The story behind the Classic Flap
Karl Lagerfeld's 1983 reinterpretation of Coco Chanel's 2.55 of February 1955: he added the interlocking CC turn-lock and the leather-threaded chain. In 2021 Chanel renamed it the 11.12, after the original medium flap's style code, A01112.
Discover ChanelThis rare Chanel Maxi XL Classic Flap in Matte Alligator with Gold Hardware is a collector’s dream. Featuring the iconic double flap silhouette in the now-discontinued Maxi XL size, it showcases Chanel’s craftsmanship. The alligator leather’s symmetrical scales and subtle sheen highlight the house’s exotic skin expertise, while the oversized form and gold CC turn-lock add timeless impact.
Produced in extremely limited quantities, this piece stands out not only for its scale but also for its exclusivity, Chanel has since halted exotic production entirely. Its elegant chain strap allows for shoulder or crossbody styling, making this rare find both functional and collectible.
