The Chanel Classic Double Flap version of the bag has an additional inner flap that separates the inside of the bag from the main outer flap. Beyond the practicality of the Chanel Double Flap's multiple pockets for organizing daily essentials, a playful anecdote has long been rumored about the history of these compartments: Chanel bag loyalists say that Coco Chanel hid her love letters in the pocket between the two flaps.
