Description
Model History:
The Diana bag is named after Princess Diana, a great admirer of Chanel, who was often photographed with this model on her shoulder in the 1990s. Introduced at that time and withdrawn from collections in the 2000s, the Diana bag has become a highly sought-after piece on the vintage market. Today, it is recognized for its structured shape and classic allure, characteristic of Chanel bags from this era, and was even reissued in a limited edition in 2015 under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld.
Exterior Details:
Smooth, delicately shiny black lambskin contrasts with the structure of the flap, which is edged with Diana’s signature quilted piping. The diamond quilting is carefully executed all over the front and back of the bag. The intertwined chain of black leather and aged gold metal allows for shoulder or cross-body carrying. The gold-plated CC clasp in solid metal remains faithful to the period version, ensuring a secure closure.
Interior Details:
The interior, lined in burgundy leather – the emblematic color of classic Chanel bags – includes a main compartment, a zipped pocket and a patch pocket. CHANEL® Made in France” branding is embossed in gold on the inside of the flap. The hologram and 207XXXX authenticity card correspond to early 90s production.
