Chanel Classic Jumbo XL Maxi Single Flap Bag

Chanel Vintage Jumbo XL Maxi Single Flap Bag in Black.

A highly collectible piece of Chanel history, this Jumbo XL Maxi Single Flap dates to the pre-1980s Karl Lagerfeld era, crafted before date codes were introduced to the house. Black quilted leather with gold tone interlocking CC hardware and classic chain link shoulder straps — this is the silhouette that defined modern luxury handbags as we know them today.

Pieces from this era are extraordinarily scarce. The absence of a date code places this bag among Chanel's earliest Classic Flap productions, making it a significant find for the serious collector or Chanel archivist.

Please note this bag is in vintage condition with visible wear throughout. The leather and hardware show fading, and the interior also shows signs of age and use. It has been priced accordingly to reflect its condition, and represents an exceptional opportunity to own an authenticated piece from the very origins of the Chanel Classic Flap lineage.
