Description
Model History:
The Timeless model, designed by Karl Lagerfeld from 1983, revisits Gabrielle Chanel’s 2.55 bag by adding the famous golden CC clasp. Available here in a mini version at the end of the 80s, it responds to a new demand for light and practical elegance. This compact format seduces with its portability and adaptability, while retaining the strong DNA of the house. Produced in a pivotal period in Chanel’s history, this model reflects the alliance between tradition and innovation dear to Lagerfeld.
External Details:
The black lambskin is worked with a soft and smooth finish, enhanced with the characteristic diamond quilting. The flap closes with a golden double C twist clasp, 24 carat gold plated. The shoulder strap is made up of a gold chain interwoven with leather, the brand’s iconic signature. A patch pocket on the back allows you to store a small object within easy reach. The mini format (approximately 17.5 x 13 x 6 cm) offers a structured but delicate silhouette.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with burgundy leather, the iconic shade of vintage Chanel bags. It has a patch pocket and a small zipped pocket under the flap. The CHANEL® stamp in gold letters appears under the interior flap, accompanied by the embossed logo. The space, although small, is optimized for the essentials: cards, keys, lipstick and compact phone.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good general condition, with well-preserved, supple and shiny leather. Slight signs of wear are visible at the corners and on the base, without altering the integrity of the piece. Gold-plated jewelry retains its shine. The interior is clean, with no stains or tears. The chain remains solid, without noticeable oxidation. The bag maintains good shape.
Care Tips:
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light, humidity or heat sources. Store the bag in its original dustbag, padding it lightly to maintain its shape. Use a specific milk for lambskin to nourish the material, and entrust cleaning to a professional specializing in luxury leather goods.
