Keep following Bragmybag.com and you get informed about the latest and the juiciest Chanel releases. We couldn’t stop talking about the Chanel boy flap for weeks now. The boy bag is oh-so-hot. Oh yes, we are obsessed and the boy bag deserve it. But our conversation have switched recently, now the Chanel easy flap (or you can call it the basic flap) is one of our hottest discussion. But the easy flap remain a mystery, we couldn’t find much information about it! So Bragmybag decided to make a change…
We sourced the entire web and couldn’t find much information even on other blogs and the Official Chanel website. We decided to do our own research. Keep reading because this can be very interesting. Here’s what we found:
Let’s start with the basic. Please welcome the Chanel classic flap in taupe on your left and salute the Chanel easy caviar flap in black on your right. Notice any difference? Allow us to clarify:
1. Both bags has the double CC turn-style lock. You see?
2. Both leather style are very similar. You can get the easy flap in caviar and lambskin.
3. From the design perspective, there isn’t much difference. Or did I missed something?
4. Both has leather interwoven between the chain links. BUT, the Chanel easy flap has a leather handle on the top. Can you see? Can you see?
Oh, I am getting excited. Let me open another door for you.
On the top, the Chanel jumbo classic flap (double flap) in blue. On the bottom, the Chanel easy flap in black again. Isn’t it obvious? The inner closure. You close the Chanel jumbo classic flap by pressing the button. Click! The easy flap has a zipper.
I was very disappointed that Chanel has discontinued the Chanel east/west flap. Then Chanel introduce a new bag, the Chanel 3, which looked similar to the Chanel jumbo flap, but not quite yet. Now Chanel has introduce the easy flap and it’s oh-so-easy, let me show you why.
The Chanel easy flap cost: 1,530 GBP (spotted in London), around 1,800 EUR. It’s available in lambskin and caviar, golden hardware and silver hardware. You can pick the blue, beige or black. Size is 25 cm in length. The easy flap is an excellent substitute for the Chanel classic flap. The medium classic flap is already priced around 2,670 GBP, can you see the huge gap in price?
Even if we forget about the price, I still love the easy flap. It’s simply gorgeous and a must have for any girl who want to own a Chanel flap. This is your time, it’s waiting for you at the Chanel boutique. This is the ultimate Chanel treat.
One more thing, the Chanel easy flap is from the spring/summer 2013 collection. The style code is: A67742

Ah it’s a gorgeous piece!
I wonder if they have it here in Perth Australia,we are a little behind with most things :/
Also I just found out that Chanel re-release the Chanel all black!
Do you know the price by any chance?
Just wanna know the store price before I say yes to my personal shopper 😉

They should, they should!! Maybe just give them a call, you can find the style code on the bottom of the article. Given the price in GBP, I guess it should be around 2,500 AUD. Keep me informed when you are going to buy the bag.
I will go and visit Perth store when I’m back from holiday.
But if I do get the Chanel All Black I’m not buying this,I’m close to broke lol
I will let you know!!
Oh I saw your post about Hermes and saw the Kelly All Black my personal shopper came back with the price of $18k I had to say a big fat NO lol
I thought I let you know!
Thanks so much,your posts are very helpful for a shopaholic like me 😀 xxx
You are on the edge on a sofa ban right? Let me know if you can resist this bag after visiting the Chanel boutique =P
Hi I just bought an ivory easy flap in jumbo on friday and that was the last piece. However they still have a black in the medium ( 10inches ) for $3,100.
Got the last jumbo piece ( 12 Inches) on friday from perth store for $3, 333. However they still have one black in medium ( 10 inches ) for $3, 100. I must say Aussies pay a higher premium so I guess to do with other taxes n freight.
Hello! Is this bag already out in Chanel stores? If not, do you know when it will be released in stores in the US? Thank you!
Hi Jacq, yes they have already released. I couldn’t find it on Chanel’s website though.
Saw it in store last month, Nordstrom channel boutique. Might sold out fast. Though we love the classic one better
The easy flap is not similar to the classic. But it has it’s own flaw and it’s half the price of the classic flap.
Sassy I emailed chanel n the sa told me is part of the spring summer collection.
Hi girl, thank you for sharing this! Very important information, because it means that they might not be available anymore after the summer.
Thanks sassy. Anything to help.
Xoxo cherie

Do you know which bag you are going to buy?
I’m going to London next month.I hope can get my first chanel.Do u think easy caviar flap still available ?
Hi Rozie Maria, the easy flap are still available, but not sure if they will be out-of-stock. they are going pretty hard. Usually they have on monthsdays. Which size are you going to buy?
I think I go for Jumbo (black) since this is my first chanel….:)
That’s a good pick, but make sure you have the color you love. Heard they go out of stock rather quickly. Let me know when you got the bag.
