Description
Model History:
The Chanel vanity, originally an accessory for storing beauty products, was revisited by the house to become an iconic handbag. This contemporary model from the 2016/2017 collections retains the codes of French luxury while meeting modern expectations in terms of format and practicality. Caviar leather, introduced in the 1990s, gives the bag greater durability, while the leather-chain shoulder strap continues the heritage of Chanel’s signature pieces.
Exterior Details:
The bag is crafted in robust, textured navy blue grained leather, with a smooth black leather contour and handle. The diamond-shaped quilted seams recall the house’s iconic lines. The CC logo applied to the front is crafted in black leather and highlighted by four engraved gold corners. The bag is fitted with a golden padlock in the shape of the logo, accompanied by its two protective leather bells. The shoulder strap is partially adjustable and combines gold chain and black leather for comfortable cross-body carrying. Approximate dimensions: 17 cm x 13 cm x 7 cm.
Interior details:
The interior is lined in smooth burgundy leather, with two main compartments separated by a rigid partition. There are card slots and a patch pocket, optimizing storage despite the reduced size. Chanel – Made in Italy” is stamped in gold on the inside, guaranteeing the model’s authenticity and origin.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good overall condition. The corners are clean, the stitching intact, and the grained leather shows no noticeable wear marks. The zipper glides smoothly, and the gold finish shows only a slight micro-patina, typical of occasional use. No structural defects to report.
Care instructions:
As caviar leather is naturally resistant, minimal care is required: gentle cleaning with a dry, non-abrasive cloth and storage away from light and moisture. Keep the bag in its original cover and avoid excessive loads to preserve its rigid shape. Smooth black leather requires extra care to avoid scratches.
