In the \u003cstrong\u003eLarge format\u003c\/strong\u003e — identifiable by its six and a half quilting rectangles running vertically down the back panel — it is an exceptional collector’s piece and one of the defining accessories of Chanel’s Spring\/Summer 2014 collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Artclass Collection — Cultural Significance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eSpring\/Summer 2014\u003c\/strong\u003e, Chanel transformed the Grand Palais in Paris into a full-scale contemporary art gallery. Karl Lagerfeld presented a collection inspired by modern art, street culture, graffiti and the visual language of urban painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eArtclass Graffiti Backpack\u003c\/strong\u003e became one of the collection’s most recognisable accessories. Its structured canvas body was deliberately treated and printed to evoke the appearance of a well-worn artist’s backpack or a piece taken directly from a Parisian street scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong its defining details are the stencilled \u003cstrong\u003eCC logo\u003c\/strong\u003e, colourful paint and ink effects, handwritten-style graphics and the unmistakable \u003cstrong\u003e“31 Rue Cambon Paris”\u003c\/strong\u003e lettering across the lower front — referencing Chanel’s historic Parisian address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than a decade after its runway debut, the Graffiti Backpack remains one of the most immediately recognisable and collectible Chanel designs of the 2010s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYellow Canvas Colourway\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example features the distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eyellow-toned canvas\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a particularly vivid backdrop for the multicoloured graffiti artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayers of red, blue, black and white graphics contrast against the warm canvas base, while the intentionally distressed treatment gives each element the raw, artistic character for which the Artclass collection became known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a piece that sits somewhere between a luxury accessory and wearable pop art — unmistakably Chanel, yet intentionally unconventional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarge Format — The Definitive Version\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is the desirable \u003cstrong\u003eLarge\u003c\/strong\u003e version of the Artclass Graffiti Backpack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe size can be distinguished from the smaller format by the \u003cstrong\u003esix and a half quilting rectangles running vertically down the reverse panel\u003c\/strong\u003e — a useful identifying detail for collectors familiar with the different versions of the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Large format provides considerably more capacity while retaining the structured silhouette and proportions that made the Graffiti Backpack such a distinctive runway piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe backpack features a contrasting \u003cstrong\u003ecamel leather top handle\u003c\/strong\u003e, adjustable shoulder straps and a \u003cstrong\u003efront zip flap pocket\u003c\/strong\u003efinished with double CC metal pendants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the main compartment includes the characteristic internal keychain detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the design’s most distinctive elements is its signature \u003cstrong\u003erope-and-chain accessory\u003c\/strong\u003e, attached to the leather handle via a \u003cstrong\u003efixed red carabiner\u003c\/strong\u003e and detachable via the contrasting \u003cstrong\u003eblue carabiner\u003c\/strong\u003e.
