Heidi Chanel Classic Flap Replica Medium, Light Pink

Light pink lambskin, 25 x 15 x 7.5 cm — the medium, in the palest shade the line runs to. At 7.5cm this one is marginally deeper than the other 25cm mediums, which is the difference between a bag that closes easily on a full load and one that does not.

• 25 x 15 x 7.5 cm, a touch deeper than the standard medium at this width.
• Light pink is a daytime shade and the softest colour in the range.
• Lambskin carries pale tones more evenly than pebbled leather, so the pink stays clean-looking.
• Gold hardware keeps the pink warm rather than pushing it cool and grey.

It suits spring and summer daytime — lunches, weddings, anywhere black would sit too heavily. A pale lambskin does want thought about where it is put down, and that is the trade for how it looks in daylight. Heidi carries the 25cm medium in light pink, lavender, beige and brown, which is the group to compare if a pale bag is what you are after.
