Description
Model History:
The Cambon line was introduced by Chanel in the early 2000s as a tribute to the famous Parisian address of 31 rue Cambon, the house’s historic birthplace. Designed for a more contemporary clientele, this line stands out for its oversized logos and contrasting color combinations. The Wallet on Chain, or WOC, has become one of Chanel’s most emblematic formats for its ability to combine elegance, practicality and ultra-compact size. The 2011 vintage comes at a time when the House is revisiting its classics with a more graphic approach.
Exterior Details:
Black lambskin features Chanel’s signature regular diamond quilting. The large CC logo in silver leather sewn onto the left-hand corner of the flap adds a distinctive visual touch while respecting the brand’s identity. The 120 cm chain shoulder strap, interlaced with black leather, can be worn as a shoulder bag or cross-body bag. The bag’s dimensions – around 19 cm long, 12 cm high and 3 cm deep – offer an ideal balance between compactness and utility.
Interior details:
The interior is lined in beige canvas with a tone-on-tone “CC” monogrammed motif, and features a central zipped compartment, patch pocket and several card slots. A second zipped pocket is integrated into the inner flap. This clever design lets you organize your essentials without adding a wallet, while keeping the interior neat and functional.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good condition for a 2011 model. The leather retains its shine and structure, the shoulder strap is intact and the metal finishes are well preserved. There is a trace of localized wear on the silver CC logo, but this does not affect the solidity or use of the piece. The interior is clean and the seams are solid.
Care instructions:
To care for this lambskin leather, gently wipe with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid exposure to moisture, heat or direct light. It should be stored flat, in a fabric cover, with uncolored tissue paper inside to maintain its shape. Periodic professional care can prolong its beauty and longevity.
