Chanel 2.55 Night Flight Mademoiselle Flap
Chanel 2.55 Night Flight Mademoiselle Flap
Description
Straight from the Spring 2006 collection runway, this is Chanel at its most playful, and its most personal. The frayed navy denim is embroidered into a whole scene: the CC logo set in a bank of white clouds, a rainbow arcing across the flap, a little red propeller plane with COCO painted on its side, and a scatter of metallic stars. A transferable resin heart charm compact mirror charm swings from the chain. The whole thing reads as an homage to Gabrielle Chanel the traveler, the woman who was always leaving for somewhere.
Note for the closure: this is the Mademoiselle lock, the rectangular turn-lock Coco used on the original 2.55, so named because she never married. On a bag this whimsical, that detail is the quiet wink. You either know what it means or you don't.
Frayed, embroidered, charm intact; a true collector's piece, and one that almost never surfaces.

Authenticity Guarantee
Authenticity is the foundation everything else rests on, and we treat it that way.
A note on cards: many of our pieces arrive with their original authenticity card, and we're always glad when they do. But a card is not proof. Cards can be reproduced, mismatched, or separated rated from the piece they were meant to accompany. We never let one stand in for verification. It's a nice provenance detail, not a guarantee.
That's why we take the extra step, every time. Every piece is independently authenticated through Entrupy, a third-party authentication technology that uses AI and high-resolution imaging to compare a piece against a vast database of genuine and counterfeit examples. The result is an objective, documented decision, not one person's opinion. Some pieces arrive with Legit App certification as well; when they do, we keep both on file. But Entrupy is the constant. No piece enters the collection without it.
Every order ships with its Entrupy Certificate of Authenticity included. And if you'd like to see it before you buy, just ask; we're glad to send the certificate link ahead of purchase.
Only once a piece passes does it earn its place in the collection.
And we stand behind it. If a piece sold by The Archival Collection is ever found not to be authentic, we will make it right with a full refund. That assurance never expires.
Returns & final sale
Every piece in The Archival Collection is unique; sourced, authenticated, and offered as a single object with its own history. For this reason, all sales are final. We don't accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations once an order is placed.
We ask that you buy with intention. Before you do, we want you to feel certain.
Authenticity, guaranteed.
Every piece is authenticated before it's listed. We stand behind that fully: if a piece is ever found not to be authentic, we will make it right, including a complete refund. This is the one assurance we will always honor.
Condition, described honestly.
We photograph and describe each piece as it truly is. What you see is what arrives. If you have any questions about condition, measurements, or provenance, ask us before you purchase. We'd rather answer ten questions than have a piece go to the wrong home.
If something arrives damaged.
In the rare event a piece is damaged in transit, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we'll work with you to resolve it.
