Celebrities and a Twist on the Chanel Classic Flap

A classic flap is a must in every wardrobe but with classic comes something that you can spot quite frequently on the streets, especially in a color like black. So what do you do if you want a classic flap but also want something that's different? Easy! Find the flap in something that's different such as a unique pattern, a material other than leather, or a seasonal color.

Celebrities have this tip written on a post-it! Check out the awesome unique flaps that several celebrities have been spotted with.

Amanda Seyfried
Amanda's flap looks to be a beautiful tweed flap with contrast stitching. Love her dog as well!

Both Amanda and Hilary has their unique flap in the medium/large size but Naomi's bag is a little bigger so it is possibly the jumbo. When using the bag as a statement purse, I prefer edgy flaps in the jumbo size because there is more to see. You want the purse to really stand out and the jumbo does just that (don't get me wrong, the medium is great too!)

If you're interested in a fun classic flap, I am letting go of my NWT (is this a sign I need to stop buying stuff for my imaginary lifestyle?!) Chanel 08P Red/White Tweed Checkered Classic Jumbo Flap. This is such a fun bag because it has the subtle diamond quilting but what pops out is the small pattern of the red/white tweed. In addition it has the very comfortable bijoux chain (and hardware) in a pale gold hardware which could pass for silver in some lighting. Love this bag, wish I had an occasion (actually a few) to wear it.
