Description
Model History:
This type of Chanel evening bag, produced in the 1990s, embodies the discreet sophistication of the house. Using noble materials such as satin and metallic leather, Chanel offered models designed for formal events, while maintaining the brand’s visual codes: the iconic logo, rotating clasp and handcrafted quality. This model reflects the sober, elegant aesthetic that marked the post-Gabrielle Chanel era under Karl Lagerfeld’s artistic direction, where vintage meets timeless.
Exterior details:
The black satin surface offers a soft, silky touch. Its rigid structure is emphasized by clean stitching on the edges and a pointed flap, bringing a graphic look. The gilded, polished metal clasp features the emblematic “CC” logo. The rigid, satin-covered handle makes for elegant carrying. The bag’s flat bottom ensures good stability when set down. Its dimensions – around 16 cm wide, 12.5 cm high (excluding handle) and 6 cm deep – make it a compact yet sufficient accessory for the essentials of an evening out.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in gold metallic leather, with a smooth, shiny finish. It includes a zipped patch pocket, the edge of which is hot-stamped with the Chanel logo. The leather interior features a clean cut and meticulous hand finishing. The contrast between satin exterior and gold interior lends a visual refinement that reinforces the luxurious spirit of the model.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good vintage condition. The structure is firm, with no sagging. The clasp works perfectly and retains its golden shine. The stitching is intact throughout.
Care instructions:
Satin is a delicate material requiring careful handling. Avoid contact with rough or damp surfaces. In the event of staining, spot cleaning by a professional is recommended. Keep the bag in its original cover, away from light and humidity to preserve the intensity of the black and the shine of the gold metal.
