Description
Model History:
Presented in the Fall/Winter 2014 collection under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, this model is part of Chanel’s Boy Brick bag universe. Inspired by the aesthetics of supermarkets, Lagerfeld turns everyday objects into fashion icons. The Barcode embodies this desire to merge popular art and luxury, in a break with classic codes. Produced in very limited quantities, this model has established itself as an example of subversive design, illustrating Chanel’s ability to blend visual humor, industrial audacity and artisanal excellence.
Exterior details:
The bag is made entirely of glossy rigid Plexiglas, with a front panel featuring a black and white motif in contrasting vertical stripes. The central embossed “CC” logo blends into the graphic composition. The back of the bag is monochrome, deep black, enhanced by a tone-on-tone logo. Dimensions are approximately 20 cm long, 12 cm high and 5 cm deep, giving the bag a compact format. The chain shoulder strap, interlaced with black leather, is removable.
Interior details :
The interior of the bag is lined with black lambskin leather, a supple, luxurious material. It features a fairly rigid main compartment, with a flat zipped pocket on one side. The interior design remains minimalist, keeping the focus on the bag’s architectural structure.
Product Condition:
This bag is in very good condition, with an overall well-preserved shine.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or humidity, as Plexiglas may warp slightly. Clean with a soft, abrasive-free microfiber cloth. Store away from direct light, in its original cover, to preserve the brilliance of the materials. Handle with care to preserve clasp mechanics.
Why to choose this product :
The Chanel Boy Brick Barcode is much more than an accessory: it’s a collection piece emblematic of the conceptual turn taken by the house in the 2010s. Its bold design illustrates Karl Lagerfeld’s uncompromising creativity. Rare, identifiable and endowed with a strong symbolic charge, it is aimed at fans of iconic pieces of contemporary fashion design, looking for objects where visual irony meets sophistication.
