Default The Chanel "Chevron" flap: a rare gem, *pics*
Weeks ago I was browsing the Chanel reference library when I came accross photos of Maxter's Chanel flap with chevron pleated leather and a beautiful flower closure. Thankfully she had posted a photo of the box with the style number. I was crazy about this bag and asked my SA to see if it was still available (it is a Fall 2007 style). There was one still available in the US, and I was able to get it. This is an incredible bag and I feel so lucky to have found it. Well, I'm not sure what the name of this bag actually is, but Maxter was calling it the "Chevron flap" so I'll stick with that until I find the real name. Thanks Maxter for posting your pics which allowed me to find this little gem!!!

Here are photos of the front (check out the unusual closure which has little crystals on it!), the back, and a close up of the pleated leather on the back side.
