The Classic Flaps we buy
- Medium Classic Flap — the definitive size
- Small Classic Flap
- Mini Flap — Square and Rectangular
- Jumbo Classic Flap — Single and Double Flap
- Maxi Classic Flap
- Caviar (grained calfskin) — the durability favorite
- Lambskin — the boutique classic
- Gold, silver and ruthenium hardware
- Seasonal colors and iridescent finishes
- Exotic and limited runway versions
Medium in black caviar with gold hardware is the most liquid handbag on earth — it prices at the top of the line and sells the day it lands. But every size and leather has a real market, and seasonal colors have collectors of their own.
What makes a Classic Flap pay more
- Caviar leather with plump, un-collapsed quilts
- Corners sharp and un-rubbed
- CC turn-lock bright, chain leather un-frayed
- Full set — box, dust bag, authenticity card, camellia and ribbon
- Microchipped current production, or clean serial sticker on older bags
- Made in France examples and collector colorways
The two things that quietly cost Flap owners money are flattened quilts and rubbed corners — both come from storage and daily carry, and both are graded honestly here. A well-kept Flap is obvious the second it hits the counter.
Authenticated in store — no receipt needed
Classic Flaps are authenticated in store with professional authentication equipment — stitch count per quilt, CC lock manufacture, chain weight and leather interlacing, interior stamps, serial sticker or microchip are verified at the counter while you watch. No receipt is required. The authenticity card and box help the offer; the bag authenticates on its own.
The more you bring in, the more you get. Flap owners often hold the matching Wallet on Chain or card case, the costume jewelry, the slingbacks. Bring the set — Chanel priced as a wardrobe beats Chanel priced as a single bag. The more you bring in, the more you get.
Conditions we buy
- Boutique-fresh, protective stickers on — pays the most
- Carried lightly, quilts plump
- Everyday Flaps with corner wear, priced in
- Older single-flap Jumbos — lighter, and wanted for it
- Flaps with an issue — still bought and priced honestly
Bring a valid photo ID. Sellers and borrowers are 18+ with ID; every buy is recorded and reported exactly as Massachusetts law requires.
How it works
1. Text photos first. Photos of your Classic Flap, front and back, plus any details, to 857-867-6468 — get a realistic range before you travel.
2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). We authenticate and price the item at the counter, in front of you.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.
Sell it, or borrow against it and keep it?
No bag borrows better. The Classic Flap's market is so deep that it is blue-chip collateral: cash outright today, or a pawn loan at 3% per month* for up to 4 months, renewable, handled in our private VIP room, with your bag stored securely until you redeem it.
Private VIP room: for loans and purchases over $2,000, ask about our private VIP room when you book — high-value pieces are handled there, not across a busy counter.
Why bring your Classic Flap here?
Mail-in buyers quote one number online, then grade your piece down in a warehouse you have never seen — and hold your item hostage while you argue.
Marketplaces and consignment mean weeks of messages, flakes, fees and scam risk on a piece worth serious money.
At LBC Pawn your Classic Flap is authenticated and priced at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or a loan ticket and your ownership intact.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the item to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.

| If you borrow | After month 1 | After month 2 | After month 3 | After month 4 |

Every piece is authenticated and priced item by item, in front of you — and the more you bring in, the more you get.
Questions we hear
- Is caviar or lambskin worth more?
- Caviar, on the resale market — it wears better, so buyers pay up for it and clean examples are easier to place. Lambskin in mint condition still pays very strongly; lambskin with scratches and flat quilts is where the gap opens.
- Do I need the authenticity card?
- No — the card supports the offer but the bag is authenticated in store on its construction, hardware and serial or microchip. Plenty of genuine Flaps have lost their cards over the years.
- Which size pays the most?
- The Medium is the market's center of gravity and usually leads. Minis punch far above their size, and Jumbos have a loyal following — especially the lighter vintage single-flap versions.
- Can I pawn my Classic Flap?
- Yes — 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge), up to 4 months, renewable.
