Why are the sizes named so many things?
Two vocabularies that never fully matched:
- Chanel’s boutiques say Small, Medium, Large, Maxi.
- The resale world says Small, Medium (or “M/L”), Jumbo, Maxi.
So the “Jumbo” everyone says is Chanel’s “Large,” and the ~25.5 cm “Medium” has also been called the “M/L” (Medium/Large) over the years.
It shifted again in March 2024: Chanel relabeled the Medium on its own site as the “11.12” (after its style code, A01112) and dropped the word “Medium.”
The reliable anchor is the measurement and the style code, not the size word. That’s why we print the cm next to every size.
Medians are our read of recorded resale, not an appraisal. Structure and status move the price more than the look. The full flap decoder →
The four Chanel flap lines
You're on the Classic Flap line. Chanel makes four flap lines that look alike but close differently, and the closure moves the price more than the color.
- Classic Flapyou’re here(the 11.12)Double flapsince 1983median $5,850 (5225 recorded)
The tell: The CC turnlock on a structured double flap (a second flap tucked under the outer one), on a woven leather-and-chain strap.
Pick this if: You want the definitive icon: the CC turnlock and the most structured shape.
- 2.55 Reissue(the 2.55)Single flapsince 2005median $4,890 (786 recorded)
The tell: The rectangular Mademoiselle lock (no CC) and an aged all-metal chain, over a single flap.
Pick this if: You want the purist 1955 original, with no CC on the front.
