Description
History of the Model: The Timeless bag, also known as the Classic Flap, is part of the heritage of the 2.55 model created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1955. Revisited in the 1980s by Karl Lagerfeld with the addition of the Double C clasp, it became a pillar of the Chanel collections. The examples produced between 1994 and 1996 reflect a period when the house maintained demanding artisanal manufacturing, with supple lambskin and still thick gold jewelry. This vintage 90s Chanel bag is sought after today for the quality of its materials and its balance between structure and flexibility.
Exterior Details: The black lambskin has regular diamond quilting, characteristic of vintage Chanel Timeless bags. The gold chain interwoven with leather allows for modular wear, single or double. The gold-tone metal CC clasp has a shiny finish. A patch pocket is present on the back of the bag, practical for quick access. The dimensions are 23 cm wide corresponding to the small format, appreciated for its capacity while maintaining a compact silhouette.
Interior Details: The interior is lined in burgundy leather, the signature of vintage Chanel lambskin bags. It has a double compartment separated by a central zipped pocket, as well as patch pockets for organizing personal effects. The embossed Chanel logo and the golden mention are present under the flap. The internal structure maintains good hold, despite a natural softening of the leather over time.
