Description
Model History:
This model follows in the footsteps of Chanel’s iconic creations of the 80s and 90s. During this period, the house explored softer, simpler formats for everyday wear, while retaining the visual codes of the classic flap bag. The intertwined chain, black lambskin leather, burgundy interior and oversized CC logo all recall the heritage of Gabrielle Chanel, modernized under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld. These bags, with their looser, less rigid format than the Timeless or 2.55 models, seduce with their practicality and assertive personality.
Exterior details:
Black lambskin leather has a smooth, soft-touch texture with a natural satin sheen. The diamond-shaped quilting is regular and taut. On the flap, a large gold CC logo gives structure to the front, immediately asserting the bag’s identity. The bag closes with a magnetic snap fastener concealed beneath the flap, for smooth opening and a secure hold. The long shoulder strap is made of 24k gold-plated links, interlaced with black leather, for a supple shoulder carry. The back is sober, with no external pocket, to maintain a clean line.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag is lined with burgundy leather, the emblematic signature of Chanel flap bags, chosen from the outset by Coco Chanel for its discreet elegance and resistance to wear and tear. It features a main compartment as well as a flat patch pocket on one side, ideal for fine objects or essentials within easy reach. The interior finishes are meticulous, the stitching clean and the interior leather well maintained. The “Chanel® ” logo is embossed in gold under the flap.
Product Condition:
This bag is in very good vintage condition. The leather exterior retains all its suppleness and a nice even sheen. The quilting is well structured, with no sagging. The CC logo is in excellent, bright condition, with no loss of gilding. The chain is shiny, taut and free of oxidation. The burgundy leather interior is clean, with no deep scratches or stains, and the pocket is functional. The snap closure works perfectly, and the overall structure of the bag is stable.
Care instructions:
Lamb leather requires delicate care: avoid contact with water, greasy or abrasive products. A soft, dry cloth is sufficient for routine care. 24k gold-plated jewelry can be lightly wiped with a non-abrasive microfiber cloth. We recommend storing the bag in a breathable cover, away from light, lined with tissue paper to preserve its shape.
Why to choose this product :
This vintage Chanel bag is a piece of character, combining the flexibility of a looser model with the strong imprint of the Chanel universe. Its black lambskin leather, burgundy interior, intertwined chain and large CC logo make it instantly recognizable, yet unique in its size and closure. It’s a rare piece, both practical and elegant, ideal for those looking for a strong signature in an accessible format. A timeless expression of Chanel style, between vintage modernity and couture heritage.
