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

Hi! I will go to London, Paris and Rome end of next month. Is it possible for me to get this beautiful bag? I heard this bag is nowhere in paris. I really want it!!!
If you go to London, Paris and Rome, chances are you will find it. London has 10+ boutiques, Paris the same, Rome has one or two. Maybe you should London and Paris before you go there.
Reason that in Paris is out-of-stock is because there’s a lot of tourist that buy the stock empty. BTW when are you going?
i will go end of June..is there any other chanel bag that within this bag’s price range?
Are you looking for a tote or a flap bag?
I’m prefer a flap bag to a tote. But i think it’s hard to get a flap bag which less than $3k 🙁
The best option is to buy A Chanel WOC. I prefer a tote too, to be honest. But have you ever considered a WOC?
Woc is too small for my liking..not sure if this bag suits my lifestyle. I dont bring too much stuff but woc is too small for me 🙁
Hi Zatil, I can’t think of any classic bags within this price range. But what I do know is that there are many styles in Chanel, mostly season styles that are cheaper.
Here’s one… I think they have other colors too.

This bag is gorgeous!! Do u know the dimension of this bag? The same size with medium flap? Thanks sassy :))
Hi Zatil, I am not exact sure about the dimension, but they can in three sizes, just like the medium/jumbo and maxi. I checked these bags, seems like the size is almost similar to the classic flaps. Are you planning to buy one? They are available in three colors.
My budget is around $3k. I think this bag is within my budget. May i know what is the other 2 colours? Thanks Sassy ;))
Hi Zatil, I need to interupt you, if you are going to buy a Chanel bag for $3k, consider this CC crown flap bag (image on the bottom):
http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-cc-crown-bags/
It’s $3,400, a few hundred above your $3k, but LOOK how gorgeous…!!
What a gorgeous bag!!!! The size is similar to jumbo, right? Does it come with other colour, Sassy? Do u know the price in euro?
They are available in three colors: blue, beige or black. but I really like the blue one. If you already have the classic flap in black, I would go for the blue. The price in euro is around: €1,850 EUR.
will this be your first chanel?
yes, this is my first chanel..everyone ask me to get the classic one, but it’s not within my budget. maybe gst is the nearest..what do you think? should i buy the seasonal one or go saving for the classic?
If Chanel prices are always the same, then I could give you the best advice ever. But because we don’t know when Chanel will increase prices, this is what I can say:
I would go for the classic one like the GST first.
Then I will go look for the seasonal bag.
I wouldn’t wait, unless you know you can save it in the shortest time. Because you never know the price increase. The easy flap is seasonal btw, so you wouldn’t see it in the next season again. But do you like the GST?
GST actually is not my first choice because i already have many big bags. But GST also nice for me. It suits my lifestyle as a mother. Is it hard to find GST in paris because of the high demand?
Hi Zatil, but your budget is 3k and you are telling me that you have already have big bags. I would definetly go for the flap bag. Why add another big one in your collection:
1. the easy flap is to be considered within your budget:
2. the Chanel coco rider, starting at €1,800 – http://www.bragmybag.com/forums/chanel/378-chanel-coco-rider.html#post1076
3. The CC crown flap bag – is gorgeous, but a bit higher in price.
I assume you are telling me $3k USD right?
What are the easy flap sizes and prices in u.s?
They als hv the small, jumbo and large size. Check also our conversation at FB:

It’s around half the price of the classic flap, $2,400 USD
p.s. are you going to buy one?
