Description
History of the Model: The Camera bag is one of the iconic pieces developed by Chanel in the 1980s, inspired by the bags originally used by photographers. The mini version, particularly popular in the 90s, is aimed at customers looking for a light but recognizable accessory. This variation in navy blue lambskin, typical of the sober but distinctive colors of the time, reflects the discreet elegance of the house under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld.
Exterior Details: The lambskin has regular diamond quilting, with a beautiful homogeneous patina. The deep, slightly shiny navy blue shade stands out from classic black while remaining sober. The flap of the front pocket is decorated with the embossed Chanel logo. The zipper ends with a matching leather tassel, attached to a gold ball engraved with the logo. The gold metal chain interwoven with blue leather allows for comfortable cross-body wear. The dimensions are 18 cm wide, 12 cm high and 7 cm deep.
Interior Details: The interior is lined with navy blue satin fabric. It has a main zipped compartment with a small side pocket. The original serial label is present, attesting to the authenticity of the bag, as well as the words “Made in France” stamped inside. The compartment is clean and functional, suitable for daily essentials.
Product Condition: This bag is in very good used condition for its age. The exterior leather retains its suppleness, with some discreet signs of use visible on the corners and base. The quilting is crisp, with no sagging, and the warp is intact. The zipper works perfectly. The interior is clean, with no stains or tears.
Care Instructions: Lambskin requires special attention: avoid prolonged exposure to direct light and humidity. Use a soft cloth to dust and, if necessary, call a leather specialist for cleaning. Store the bag in its original cover and without hanging it to preserve the chain and shape.
Why Choose this Product: This vintage Chanel Camera bag is an emblematic piece of the 90s, combining practicality and stylistic heritage. Its navy blue shade, rarer than black, makes it an elegant and versatile alternative. Its size, structured format and visual signature with tassel make it an ideal choice for lovers of vintage leather goods looking for an authentic, functional and timeless model.
