Chanel Westminster Flap Bag With Pearls
There is nothing wrong with ‘retro’.
It’s even better when it’s entirely upgraded, when the designer takes everything off and put it right back together to make it even more stunning, and prettier.
I have nothing against that.
And I belief you will have nothing against that either.
Especially when you’re introduced to the NEW Chanel Westminster Flap Bag from the Fall Winter 2014 Collection. And oh my, oh my, it’s time to take the cake and eat it too.

When you get the pearls, the CC logo, the quilted and interwoven chain links with charms all over it, you are actually spoiling yourself. And to top it off, it’s almost the same size as the Chanel Medium/Large Classic Flap Bag, with (here we go!) a lower price tag.
Does that put a smile on your face?
Let’s compare okay?
The Chanel Medium/Large classic Flap Bag is sized 6.3’ x 10.2’ x 2.8’ inches and the Chanel Westminster Flap Bag with Pearls is measured 6.7’ x 9.8’ x 3’ inches.
And…
The Chanel Medium/Large Classic Flap Bag is retailing for $4,900 USD or €3.550 euro’s and the Chanel Westminster Flap Bag with Pearls is priced at $4,500 USD or €2.990 euro’s.
The CC closure is decorated with pearls, the chain links is also decorated with beautiful pearls and golden jewelries. It’s absolutely stunning and luxurious as it can get.
To know that carrying this new Chanel Westminster Flap Bag will leave an impression, to anyone you walked passed by, isn’t it worth every penny?
Glam it or leave it, here are the details:

This westminster flap bag is gorgeous.
Does anyone know if it’s still possible to get it in store now?
Thanks.
Cynthia
Hi Rence, no this is a seasonal bag. But we have seen this bag come back four times in the last 2 years, so there is a big chance this will be available again in the upcoming new collections.
Florence
Thanks Cynthia for your updates and good news.
I saw a similar one with bronze hardware in Paris this July, but my search for the one with gold hardware was to no avail.
I will check my local stores regularly and see if I am lucky enough to score one.
Thanks again!
Cynthia
Hi Florence, keep us updated!

Guys I’ve recently noticed someone holding a tweed chanel classic flap with similar pearl strings and pearl CC logo and hence I wanted to inquire whether the westminster comes in a tweed version as well? Can someone kindly help me identify the one in the attached image? TIA
CC
Wow, I’ve never spotted the Chanel westminster flap bag in tweed. Pity that the picture is a bit vague.

Hi, my concern is will the chain be a pain to carry on the shoulder? Also, would the chain pull the hair when carried on shoulder?
junniem
hello! i had tried on this bag last month, it wasn’t painful on the shoulders nor did it pulled my hair, but it did get caught on the lace part of my blouse 🙁
Max
Does it come only in black?
Katherine
Does it only come in black and only lamb skin? Is the chain adjustable? Is there an inside flap like on the medium flap?
Alex
Hi Katherine, as far as we know, only in lambskin. The chains should be like the classic flap bag. The old one doesn’t hv an inside flap, not sure about this new version.
Tania
Hi Katherine,
The bag only comes in lambskin only. It is limited edition and only available for this season only. So once it’s gone it’s gone. The beautiful chain is not adjustable like the classic flap bag however it sits at a good length. Don’t confuse the Westminster with the classic flap as it is two completely different bags therefore is completely different in style although the exterior looks similar. Firstly the Westminster bag has a magnetic closure opposed to the cc lock on a classic flap bag and there is no internal flap. The inside is lined with red leather and there is a zipped compartment. There is also no back pocket unlike the the classic flap bag. I have provided some pictures for you to see, hope it helps…
