It is, by any measure, the most recognised luxury bag in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a vintage example in black lambskin: the most enduring colourway, the most coveted material, and the format that has defined the silhouette since Lagerfeld first showed it. The piece is accompanied by its original booklet with retailer stamp -- a rare and complete provenance record for a piece of this age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Market Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChanel has raised the retail price of the Classic Flap repeatedly over the past decade -- the current medium in lambskin retails above £8000 new. Vintage examples with full provenance (authentication cards and purchase booklet) are increasingly sought by collectors who value both the documentation and the early-production lambskin construction. Black medium flaps with gold hardware remain the most liquid single entry point in the entire secondary luxury market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chanel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54322642551111,"sku":null,"price":4922.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/4450\/2599\/files\/Photoroom_20260710_150546.jpg?v=1783696459","url":"https:\/\/ebvlondon.com\/products\/chanel-classic-flap-bag-medium-in-black-lambskin","provider":"ebvlondon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
