Description
Model History:
The bucket bag was popularized in the 1980s and 1990s as a casual alternative to rigid models. At Chanel, this format has been revisited with the house’s emblematic codes: diamond-shaped quilting, top-quality lambskin leather and gold finishes. This model is part of the Lagerfeld period, marked by a modernization of classics and a desire to adapt models to contemporary needs, while preserving the brand’s luxurious DNA.
Exterior Details:
Black lambskin leather features Chanel’s signature regular diamond quilting, offering both visual suppleness and comfort to the touch. The leather drawstring, punctuated by two golden spheres engraved with the double C, provides a secure closure. The golden eyelets are anchored in a reinforced leather band to guarantee the bag’s solidity. The shoulder strap, also in black lambskin, is wide and non-adjustable, designed for comfortable shoulder carrying. The size is generous without being excessive, ideal for everyday use.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag is lined in smooth black leather and features a large main compartment. It is accompanied by a removable leather zipped pocket, connected to the inside of the bag by a leather tie and a small gold snap hook. This system secures small items while maintaining organizational flexibility. The interior space is functional, without overloading, true to the practical spirit of the model.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good vintage condition. The lambskin leather retains its softness and its quilting remains well defined. A few creases and wear marks are visible, mainly on the corners and bottom, testifying to regular but careful use. The gilded metal parts are shiny, with discreet micro-scratches. The shoulder strap and seams are intact, and the inside pocket is in very good condition.
Care instructions:
As lambskin is delicate, we recommend storing the bag away from light and in a dry environment. Use a soft cloth to remove dust after use and avoid contact with water or chemicals. For thorough cleaning, we recommend that you have your bag serviced by a professional specializing in luxury leather.
