The Curation Note

The Chanel Classic Flap in black caviar with gold hardware is the apex of investment-grade handbags. Chanel has raised its prices seven times in a decade, yet demand never wanes. The caviar leather — pebbled, structured, scratch-resistant — ages flawlessly. The interlocking CC turn-lock closure, first introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983, remains one of fashion’s most recognisable details. Resale value consistently sits at or above retail, making this not just an accessory, but a financial asset.
