Classic Flap Medium

Caviar is grained calfskin with a pebbled finish, chosen for bags that will be carried often, because it holds its structure and resists scuffs better than lambskin. In cream it reads soft and luminous, the diamond quilting giving the surface its familiar depth. The Double Flap construction adds an inner flap beneath the CC turn-lock, and the leather-interwoven chain wears doubled on the shoulder, with a 9-inch drop. At 10 inches wide, 6.3 inches tall and 2.6 inches deep, it fits a phone, a card case, keys, a compact and a lipstick.

Cream is a color for formal days and special occasions: weddings, christenings, a long lunch that turns into an evening. It flatters navy, black and camel, and it is gentle enough to sit beside pastels in spring. Carry it on the shoulder with the chain doubled, or let it hang lower if you prefer. A season with Saclyn is a good way to see how a cream Chanel fits your calendar.
