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 am after a black boy bag will be in Paris in September do you think they will have any stock?
The boy bags are never easy to get in Europe, it’s hard to say if they have the black one in stock. But you should pick a couple of alternative colors, in case they don’t have the black.
It’s also better to shop Chanel on monthday, tuesday than friday and the weekends, particular in Paris, imo.
Saks fifth in Atlanta has a medium black boy
I have just purchased the easy flap bag in black. In London Chanel in South Kensington it was £1865 its fabulous. it only comes in the silver though but all the same looks great so so pleased with it. Thank you for this website.
I am glad we were a great help! I have only seen the easy flap in gwh, so yours must look great. Which color did you picked?
It’s black. With silver hardware. The SA told me this particular one didn’t come in the gold option. On the sales receipt the code is a67442 so assuming it is the easy flap. It certainly looks like it. Maybe as its the larger size.
Very pleased with it. X
It could also be the new CC Crave, can you upload it in the forum so I can see it.
Hi sure have uploaded on forum, see what you think have had a look at cc crave its not that. The leather is different.
Without a doubt, it’s the easy flap. The easy flap has a zipper inside.
Thank you, was getting myself confused as a few people I had spoken to said its mainly seen in gold hardware.
I’m pleased with it, in your opinion do you think its over priced, just a comment from another Chanel bag owner, said it was expensive for an easy flap?
xx
Went to Harrods yesterday no more stock for easy flap. They have new collections similar to easy flap. Something like cc crave,for m/l size £1700 jumbo £1900
Hi Rozie, that’s true. You might want to take a look at the CC Crave bag here: http://abbag.ru/131/chanel-cc-crave-flap-bag-presenting-our-new-love/
Overpriced? What’s a Chanel bag’s correct price? The easy flap is of course not as famous as the Chanel classic bag, but you pay for a lower price and get a bag that quite similar. And on the top of that, the easy flap looks gorgeous.
Did she told you what bag she would bought instead of the easy flap?
BTW, if you have bought a Chanel classic abg four/five years ago, and when you compare the price prior to the price increases, then of course you will think its expensive. But who knew Chanel would double their classic flap prices in that short period of itme.
Thats very true, she has the classic but bought it when chanel’s prices were much lower i think she paid around £1200 for her classic…….I wish.
so maybe she isnt up to date with current prices, do you think chanel will increase their prices anymore?
Never the less I’m pleased with my new bag.
p.s the cc crave is lovely i saw it in the chanel boutique. It was a hard choice went for the flap as more classic looking but its a definate for the next chanel purchase
Some people who bought Chanel bags a long time ago are flaunting because they got a bargain and you don’t. But the fact is that Chanel classic bag cost $4k+ and if you compare to the easy flap, it worth every single dime. SA told us the price increase will be in december. But you never know, Chanel might decide to increase price tomorrow morning.
Hi Sassy,
Do you think I can call and reserved a bag in a week ahead before I get to Paris? I’m looking for a classic medium flap caviar skin and I know is hard to get one.
Thanks!
Hi MM, not a week, but 48 hours shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not hard to get, but you need to be lucky. Please read our comment section at http://abbag.ru/131/chanel-latest-prices-and-product-information-worldwide-2012/.
Some of our members post the location of the medium caviar flap bag.
I just came back from paris, there are stocks available
Hi! You are sharing us great news, good to hear that the easy flap is still being stocked.
hi, I got my easy flap silver grey calf skin at Paris on 23 May 2013. Saw both rue cambon and Lafayette got that bag on the day. But when I went to Berlin on 1 June can’t find the bag anymore. Is it discontinued?
Hi Susu, just head that the pre-fall 2012 collection has released. They might not re-stock it anymore, because the season is over. But some bags, because of its popularity do come back. I hope Chanel will continue to sell it.
Hi there. I’m in Paris now. Looked for classic medium flap bag, but it’s not available even in Milan. So, the shopper assistant suggested CC Crave i loved it! It’s not too small not too big…just enough for me! I’m a happy girl to have my very 1st Chanel bag…also bought Chanel shades, Chanel lipstick Chanel chance perfume. :-):
How much is that CCCave
hi all
They offer A67764 and A67765 now which looks like almost the same as A67741 with slightly different design on the chain.
Hi, can you send an couple image for me of the new design?
Hi Sam, the CC Crave, is that from the fall 2013 collection. Do you know that? OMG shopping spree at Chanel =P
Hi there, I’m now in Barcelona and there is plenty of stocks of easy flap bag! although there is no black one that everyone admired, there is grey/silver, blue and red one in the boutique. Here comes my dilemma: I’m heading Paris on Thursday, and should I wait until I reach Paris to buy easy flap or simply buy that one in here? I’ve read some comments from this post and some girls are talking about that Paris Chanel boutiques are out of stock…… No easy flip……. what should I do? help me!
Also, Sissy, have you heard of ‘Chanel caviar vintage limited’ of this spring season? One blogger who is now in US posted that as a season bag released in 22th of May, but nobody is talking about it now..
That’s really limited information. Do you have the link of the blogger?
The easy flap was in London’s new store last week for £1,835
Was it the last one? Because the new fall season handbags have been released.
Hi shushu, you just found GOLD! congratulations! Everyone is hunting for one, but no one can find it. I love the blue one btw, check pictures on our forum! BTW, do you want to risk the chance to get a easy flap, try to go to Paris and return. Would be a disappointment if you return home empty handed.
Hi, did u find any easy flap at Paris on Thursday? Please let me know which shop did u find it as my friend will go to Paris in next few days.
My 1st Chanel,
what do you suggest:
1) http://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/1132341219?u=ginzacl
2) Purple easy flap
http://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/b24095965?u=ginzacl
I am not sure if these two are authentic, but the first one looks like the classic flap bag, the second one looks like the Pondichery bag. I would say the first one.
