Indulge in a limited-edition masterpiece of modern Chanel elegance. From the revered Spring/Summer 2023 collection by Creative Director Virginie Viard, we are proud to present the Chanel 22B “Coco Love” Quilted Heart Flap Bag, a captivating piece that effortlessly blends archival inspiration with a playful, yet sophisticated, modern sensibility. Available in two distinct sizes, the Petit (Mini/Small) and the Small (Small/Medium), this is an exquisite investment piece for the discerning collector.
A Virginie Viard Vision: The Heart of the Matter
The Chanel 22B collection, often referred to as the “Coco Love” collection, has captured the hearts of fashion enthusiasts worldwide. At the helm of this highly sought-after piece is Virginie Viard’s vision: a tribute to the enduring spirit of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, with a modern, joyful twist. Viard successfully integrates a charming heart motif, a symbol of Chanel’s personal touch, into the brand’s iconic silhouette, creating a piece that is as much a collectible as it is a functional luxury accessory.
This bag is not just a seasonal trend; it is a meticulously crafted statement of style. The core design element is the “Coco Love” heart-shaped turn-lock, a precision-engineered piece of hardware that transforms the functional closure into the bag’s focal point. Our collection features this bag in a timeless all-black, highlighting the contrast between the black lambskin and the gleaming gold-tone hardware.
Exquisite Material & Timeless Quilting
The body of the bag is crafted from the finest, soft black French lambskin. Known for its buttery-soft feel and luxurious sheen, the lambskin is a testament to Chanel’s commitment to quality. The leather is rendered in the brand’s legendary diamond quilting, a pattern that has defined Chanel bags for decades. The quilting is flawless, with each diamond perfectly aligned, creating a soft, textural play of light that elevates the bag’s presence. The black color provides a sophisticated, versatile canvas that complements any wardrobe.
The Centerpiece: The “Coco Love” Heart Turn-Lock
The defining feature of this collection is the magnificent heart turn-lock. We offer two versions to accommodate the two sizes.
For the Petit Coco Love: The All-Gold Masterpiece
On the Petit size, the heart turn-lock is a sculptured work of art. A precision-engineered all-metal gold-tone Interlocking CC turn-lock is meticulously set within a flawless gold-tone heart-shaped frame. The entire unit acts as a stunning piece of jewelry for the bag, embodying a playful, feminine charm that is pure Coco Chanel.
For the Small Coco Love: A Touch of Plexiglass Sophistication
On the slightly larger Small size, the “Coco Love” lock features a distinct and highly sought-after detail. The interlocking gold-tone CC turn-lock is set into a deep black, high-gloss Plexiglass (lucite) panel, which is then framed by the elegant gold heart. This black plexiglass insert provides a sophisticated, multi-dimensional look, making the CC logo pop and adding a layer of contemporary refinement that makes the larger version truly unique.
Functional Elegance: Two Distinct Profiles
The Petit Coco Love: Square and Snappy
The Petit version of the “Coco Love” bag features a punchier, more square silhouette. This compact size is perfect for day-to-evening transitions, holding all your core essentials with impeccable style. The single flap opens to a neat, black grosgrain interior. A classic, long gold chain-link and leather-interwoven strap with a generous 22.5” (57 cm) drop makes it ideal for crossbody or a long-shoulder wear. A single interior patch pocket provides organized storage for smaller items.
The Small Coco Love: Rectangular and Versatile
The Small version offers a more elongated, rectangular profile. It features the black plexiglass detail in the lock and provides slightly more internal capacity. A subtle and highly useful back patch pocket has been seamlessly integrated into the design, allowing quick access to items like a phone or card case without opening the main flap. The flap opens to a striking, contrasting pink grosgrain or silk-blend interior, adding a secret, playful surprise. The interior structure is more complex, featuring both a zipper pocket for secure storage and an additional patch pocket. The classic gold chain strap has a 20.5” (52 cm) drop, suitable for shoulder and crossbody use, sitting comfortably at the hip.
Materials and Unboxing Experience
Both bags are constructed from identical high-quality black lambskin leather and feature high-polished, brilliant gold-tone hardware. The inner lining materials are chosen for their durability and luxurious feel (black grosgrain for the Petit, pink fabric for the Small). Your purchase includes a pristine presentation with an original Chanel box and a branded dust bag, ensuring your investment is well-protected.
Whether you choose the playful symmetry of the Petit or the sophisticated detail of the Small with its plexiglass lock and pink interior, you are acquiring a piece of Chanel history—a blend of archive, art, and desire.
