Chanel Classic Bag Vintage 1994/ 1996

Model History:
Introduced in 1983 under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, the Classique bag is directly inspired by the legendary 2.55 launched by Coco Chanel in February 1955. Lagerfeld modernized the model by adding the interlaced CC clasp, which became an instant signature. This bag from 1994-1996 reflects the golden age of postmodern Chanel style, still entirely handcrafted in France. It embodies an era when Chanel focused on timelessness, leather quality and understated elegance.

Exterior Details:
Black lambskin leather features regular diamond-shaped quilting, emblematic of Chanel bags. The flap is highlighted by a gold metal clasp featuring the CC logo in a shiny finish. The gold chain, braided with black leather, offers a double carrying option. On the back, an external half-moon pocket adds a functional touch to the design. Generous but not excessive dimensions (approx. 25 x 16 x 6 cm) strike the perfect balance between practicality and elegance.

Interior details:
The interior is lined in burgundy leather, the emblematic hue of classic Chanel bags. It features a main compartment, two patch pockets including a lipstick pocket, and an interior flap with snap closure, providing an extra level of security. The inside of the flap is embossed with the CC logo and “Chanel ®” in gold. The quality of the interior finish reflects the high standards of production during this period.

Product Condition:
The bag is in very good vintage condition, with slightly marked corners and some visible rubbing to the leather, particularly to the back and lower extremities. The clasp and chain retain their original shine, with no noticeable oxidation. The burgundy leather interior is well preserved, with no major tears or stains, testifying to moderate, careful use.

Care instructions:
This lambskin leather model requires special care: avoid exposure to moisture, heat and abrasive surfaces. Store the bag in its original pouch, padding it lightly to preserve its shape. Clean with a soft cloth and call in a professional for annual leather care.
