Story

The 22 is the flap formula rebuilt as a soft drawstring shopper: slouchy diamond-quilted calfskin, a chain that spells CHANEL in gold letters, and a removable interior pouch. It polarised purists on launch and then simply sold — the modern, unstructured counterpoint to everything else in this case.

Specifications

Authentication checklist

1. The chain's CHANEL letters are solid metal with clean casting — hollow, blurry letters are wrong
2. Interior pouch is removable and attaches with a snap hook; the main body closes with a magnetic snap plus drawstring

Care notes

Wipe smooth leather with a soft dry cloth after use and condition only occasionally with a neutral leather balm — test any product inside first, and keep it away from perfume and hand sanitiser. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
