About the Business Affinity Small
Introduced for Spring/Summer 2017, the Business Affinity is a structured, top-handle flap bag with a briefcase-like silhouette, designed as a more practical, work-oriented alternative to the Classic Flap.
What affects this bag's resale value
- Made exclusively in caviar leather, unlike many Chanel styles that also offer lambskin, which supports more consistent condition on the resale market
- A seasonal rather than permanent line, so availability and colorways vary by season, affecting which colors are easier or harder to find secondhand
- Priced well below the Classic Flap, positioning it as a lower-cost entry into structured Chanel flap bags
