Chanel SS14 Artclass Light Grey Canvas Small Graffiti Backpack — Full Set with Original Box
Of all the configurations of the Chanel SS14 Artclass Graffiti Backpack that Élégance du Luxe has ever handled, this is the one that stands entirely apart. The Small size in light grey canvas — already the rarest colourway and the rarer format — offered in like-new condition as a complete full set including the original Chanel box. On the global secondary market for SS14 Artclass pieces, this configuration is effectively without precedent.
Why This Piece Is Exceptional — Three Converging Rarities
Rarity 1 — Light Grey, the VVIP Colourway The light grey canvas was distributed exclusively to VVIP clients at only a few Chanel boutiques across Europe — making it the most restricted and least frequently seen of the three Graffiti Backpack colourways. The pale, silvery-grey base gives the print a washed, luminous quality entirely distinct from the darker variants — the large CC logo on the back panel reads with particular clarity, and the "31 Rue Cambon Paris" text across the lower front panel appears with a softness and legibility that the darker colourways cannot match. In different lighting conditions the grey shifts between a pale silver and a warmer stone tone — a dynamism that makes this the most visually complex of the three colourways.
Rarity 2 — Small Format The Chanel SS14 Graffiti Backpack was produced in two sizes — Large and Small. The Small is the rarer of the two, produced in significantly lower quantities and sought by collectors who prioritise the most compact and wearable format of the silhouette. Proportionally smaller with three compartments, the Small presents the Graffiti print at a tighter, more concentrated scale — the CC logo and text elements arranged with greater graphic impact within the reduced canvas area. Finding the Small in light grey specifically is a configuration that experienced Chanel collectors will immediately recognise as exceptional.
Rarity 3 — Like-New with Original Box This example is offered in like-new condition — the rarest condition status for any SS14 Artclass piece over a decade after production — and as a complete full set including the original Chanel box. The presence of the original box is, on its own, a significant detail: it confirms the piece has been stored with exceptional care since acquisition and has never been subject to regular use. For buyers who demand the highest possible condition and provenance, this is the standard that all other examples are measured against.

Construction & Details
The backpack features a camel leather top handle, a front zip flap pocket with double CC metal pendant, a main drawstring compartment, and an internal keychain. The ruthenium (dark silver-tone) chain runs through the strap eyelets on both sides. The rope chain accessory — the collection's most directional detail — is in full original condition with both carabiners present and functional.
The Artclass Collection
The Chanel Spring/Summer 2014 Artclass show remains one of the most ambitious and culturally significant Chanel presentations of the past two decades. The Graffiti Backpack series was its signature accessory — and over a decade later, grey colourway examples in any condition represent the apex of what the SS14 collection offers to the secondary market. This Small, in light grey, like-new, with original box, is that apex.
