About the Diana Flap
Designed by Karl Lagerfeld and produced from 1989 to 1995, the Diana Flap is named for Princess Diana, who was frequently photographed carrying it. It closely resembles the Chanel Single Flap but is distinguished by its front CC clasp and a combined leather-and-chain top handle.
What affects this bag's resale value
- Long-discontinued (out of production since 1995 aside from a brief 2015 revival), so genuine scarcity drives collector pricing
- Caviar leather versions are considered the most prized material for this model, more so than lambskin
- Its Princess Diana association adds a cultural-collectible premium not present in Chanel's current mainline bags
