Anatomy of the New Chanel Kelly

When you review the dimensions of each Chanel Kelly bag size, the Mini Nano Kelly is more of a clutch with a chain, whereas the Nano Kelly from Chanel has the capacity you expect of a traditional petite top-handle bag. Both Chanel Kelly sizes feature the iconic gold-tone metal CC turn-lock closure, an interwoven leather and chain strap (which is not removable or adjustable), two flat top handles, and an open leather-lined interior.

The Nano Kelly has an interior zip pocket, whereas the Mini Nano Kelly has a small interior slip pocket. Because the Mini Nano Kelly is considered to be more of a small accessory rather than a bag, it contains a serial code sticker. The Nano Kelly bag from Chanel will have the new Chanel metal plates.
