Description
Model History:
The design of the Chanel quilted bag has its roots in the equestrian world and the jockey jacket, beloved of Gabrielle Chanel. This particular model, dating from the 1994-1996 period, is part of the house’s heritage under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, who revisited the classics with bolder geometric lines. Lamb leather, Chanel’s preferred material, is worked with herringbone quilting, less common than the traditional diamond pattern, offering a more contemporary, minimalist interpretation.
Exterior details:
The exterior features soft-touch lambskin leather with an even patina. The herringbone pattern is precisely stitched and lends a structuring visual effect. The gold-tone twist-lock closure features the CC logo in shiny gold-tone metal. The interwoven leather chain allows for double length depending on wearing style. The back features a discreet patch pocket. The corners are reinforced and slightly rounded, with clean seams.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with smooth burgundy leather, the signature of classic Chanel bags. It includes a main compartment with a zipped pocket and a patch pocket. The serial number is visible and corresponds to the period mentioned. The lining is clean and snag-free, and the flap closes perfectly thanks to its inside magnetic snap.
Product Condition:
This bag is in very good condition for a piece from the 90s. The leather retains its suppleness and shine. The metal parts are shiny, with no major oxidation. The overall structure is well preserved, the chain and stitching are solid, and the clasp works smoothly.
Care instructions:
Lamb leather is sensitive to scratches and should be handled with care. We recommend occasional nourishment with a care product suitable for fine leather, and storage in the bag, away from humidity and direct light. Do not overload the bag to preserve its rigid shape and avoid prolonged pressure on the corners.
Why to choose this product :
This vintage Chanel bag from 1994-1996 is a rare collector’s item, combining discretion with a strong visual identity thanks to its chevron motif. The combination of lambskin leather, interlaced chain and CC clasp embodies the DNA of the house in its purest version. Its complete provenance with card, dustbag and box reinforces its appeal to luxury vintage enthusiasts in search of a model that is at once elegant, functional and emblematic of a pivotal Chanel era.
