The medium size Chanel Flap bag is the smallest flap bag in the Chanel collection. The medium bag is featured in various leathers, colors, and chains. I have written extensively about the Chanel Flap Bag in my review of the Chanel Jumbo Flap Bag. To not repeat any information, I’ll just go through the specific specs of the medium bag.
Specifications
Colors: Black, Beige, Clair Beige
Leather: Caviar, Lambskin
Chain: Gold, Silver
At first sight you may not notice the difference between the medium and jumbo sizes. I didn’t. When they are put together side by side you can see that the medium size is considerably smaller than the jumbo size in height. I love the medium Chanel Flap for going out on dates, and going out to the club for drinks.
The size of the medium bag is 10”x6”x2.5”. You’ll definitely be able see the size when you compare it to the size of the jumbo bag which is 12”x8”x3”.
As far as prices are concerned, they vary. It depends on the country and/or state, and currency type. Though, the overall price of the bag shouldn’t be too far in difference.
Let’s take a brief look at the average prices……
These prices are based from the United States. It would help to note that the prices of the Medium Flap bag have increased considerably in the past two years.

Availability
As most of you may know, the Chanel Medium Flap is not always available. It should be proper protocol to call your local Chanel shop and reserve the bag in your choose of color, leather, and chain. In Paris, usually during the weekends, the Chanel Medium Flap Bags are sold out. The weekend is high time for shoppers.
The handbags that come in the combination of black caviar with a silver chain are usually always sold out. They are close to nonexistent during the weekends in Paris. Trust me; I have a few personal disappointing experiences.
Perfect Time to Wear
The medium size Chanel Flap is kind of small, so this should be considered when going out. If you are one that must have a lot of things to carry then the medium size may not be for you. The medium size Chanel Flap was made to hold light essentials like your phone, car keys, wallet, compact, etc. The size is perfect for a night out on the town with friends, or for special events like weddings or company dinners.
