Description
History of the Model: The Classic Chanel bag, also called Timeless, is the evolution of the 2.55 model created in 1955 by Gabrielle Chanel. Revisited in the 1980s with the addition of the double C clasp under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, it became one of the house’s most recognizable models. The examples produced in the mid-1990s are particularly appreciated for the quality of their lambskin and the depth of their quilting. The 1994/1996 period corresponds to production still marked by traditional know-how and careful finishes.
Exterior Details: The bag is made of quilted black lambskin with a diamond pattern. The leather has a nice suppleness with a slight natural shine. The double C clasp in gold metal works properly and maintains a beautiful hold. The chain intertwined with leather and gold links allows it to be worn on the shoulder or across the body depending on your body shape. There is a patch pocket on the back of the bag. The corners show slight marks of use consistent with its age, whilst retaining a harmonious structure.
Interior Details: The interior is lined in burgundy leather, signature of Chanel Classic bags in lambskin from this period. It includes a double compartment, a zipped pocket as well as patch pockets to organize personal belongings. The Chanel marking is embossed and gilded under the flap. The whole remains clean with slight superficial marks linked to careful use.
Condition of the Product: This Classic Chanel 25 cm bag in lambskin, dating from 1994/1996, is in very good general condition. The leather retains its well-defined quilting. Slight traces of use are visible on the corners and certain areas of the leather, without major alteration. The gold metal elements have fine micro-scratches normal for a model from this period. The interior is well preserved, with no structural defects.
Maintenance Tips: It is recommended to store the bag in a bag, away from humidity and direct light. Since lambskin is delicate, avoid repeated rubbing and contact with abrasive surfaces. Occasional maintenance with a soft, dry cloth will preserve its appearance.
