Due to the flap bag’s bold and distinctive design elements, such as the dual tone chain and the woven chain CC logo, this flap bag is currently Chanel’s latest “it” bag. Released relatively recently (2019), the public demand for this modern take on the Classic Flap has the potential to turn this innovative bag into a timeless classic. 

 

Prior to 2008, vintage Chanel bags were made with real 24 karat gold-plated hardware. As caused by everyday wear and tear, real 24 karat gold-plated hardware is prone to tarnishing exposing the silver alloy material underneath. In order to improve the durability of their hardware, Chanel has since used non-real gold-toned hardware. 

The Chanel 19 is available in a Tweed material that comes in a variety of colour variations. Contrary to public belief, tweed is relatively durable and easy to care for making this material an excellent choice for those looking to try something new. To take care of your tweed bag, simply use baby wipe sprayed with stain remover in order to remove stains from the exterior. In addition to this, lint rollers and tweezers can be used to remove wedged debris from the surface.
