Description
Model History:
Presented as part of the Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2002 fashion show, this bag reflects Karl Lagerfeld’s approach at the time: revisiting the house’s fundamentals through a bold, graphic prism. The show’s decor, set in the Jardins des Tuileries in Paris, evoked a floral greenhouse, underlining the duality between nature and modernity. The “Coco-Print” model takes up the house’s emblematic symbols – the name “Coco” and the double C – in a repeated visual composition, asserting a strong, assertive signature in the world of luxury accessories.
Exterior details:
The black quilted fabric is enhanced by an all-over “COCO” motif in white and light grey, accompanied by CC logos in various formats. This graphic treatment, both sober and striking, adds a pop dimension to the piece. The flap with gold-tone turnstile closure ensures secure opening. The two-tone metallic chain shoulder strap (silver and gold), interlaced with black leather, can be worn on the shoulder or cross-body. A discreet patch pocket on the back completes the ensemble.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with smooth black leather. It includes a main compartment and a side patch pocket, suitable for everyday essentials. The “Chanel Made in France” leather label is accompanied by the original serial number, attesting to the bag’s authenticity.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good vintage condition. The canvas retains its integrity, the prints are sharp, with no noticeable alterations. The leather interior shows a few traces of use, normal for its age. The metal parts retain their shine.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity. Clean canvas with a soft, dry cloth. The leather interior can be cared for with a suitable nourishing lotion. Store the bag flat in its original cover to preserve its shape and print.
