Description
Model History:
During the second half of the 1980s, Karl Lagerfeld multiplied the daring reinterpretations of the codes of the Chanel house. The purse bag, which is experiencing a real resurgence in popularity during this period, is available in luxurious and feminine versions, like this mini model. The introduction of strong elements such as the oversized pompom and the gold CC clasp contributes to the affirmation of a new visual identity for the brand, more marked and more recognizable.
Exterior Details:
The black lambskin has a supple, satiny texture, worked in large diamond quilting. The bag closes with a CC logo clip clasp in gold metal. A large black leather pompom, decorated with a Chanel engraved tip, provides a strong decorative accent. The gold chain shoulder strap interwoven with leather allows it to be worn cross-body or on the shoulder. The mini format (approximately 19 x 14 x 6 cm) is compact but functional. The CC logo is embossed on the front of the bag, in tone on tone.
Interior Details:
The interior, lined with black leather, is non-compartmentalized, offering a unique central space. It allows you to store everyday essentials: phone, keys, small pencil case or card holder. The lack of internal separation favors capacity and flexibility. The CHANEL® logo is embossed in gold letters on the inside, at the flap.
Product Condition:
This bag is in very good condition for a piece dating from the late 80s. The leather retains its shine and suppleness. The clasp and metal elements are shiny. The pompom is complete and well preserved. The interior is clean, with no major stains or defects.
Care Tips:
To preserve lambskin, it is recommended to use specific nourishing care and avoid direct exposure to light or humidity. Store the bag in its original dustbag, without crushing it, and pad it lightly to maintain its shape. The leather tassel should be handled with care to avoid deforming it.
