Description
Model History:
Chanel grained leather clutches, often referred to as travel accessories or beauty bags in the 80s and 90s, have gradually acquired the status of collector’s items. Caviar leather, introduced at the end of the 1980s, has established itself as a more resistant alternative to lambskin, widely used until then. Thanks to its durability and structured appearance, this leather is today associated with some of the most sought-after pieces from the house of Chanel.
External Details:
The pouch has a rectangular shape, slightly rounded at the edges, with a flat and supple volume. The black grained leather offers a matte and textured appearance, which limits the appearance of scratches and increases the longevity of the piece. The tone-on-tone embossed “CC” logo provides a subtle but immediately recognizable visual signature. The zipped puller is decorated with a golden medallion with the logo, contrasting elegantly with the dark leather.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with black fabric, sober and functional, without compartments. There is a “Chanel – Made in Italy” label sewn on the side seam, confirming the authenticity of the model. The zipped opening allows wide and quick access to its contents. The format is suitable for flat objects such as a phone, a small wallet or documents.
Product Condition:
The pouch is in good vintage condition, with some visible signs of wear: slight sagging of the leather at the ends, creases from use and general patina. The zip works perfectly and the leather remains supple, without cracking. The golden medallion retains a beautiful shine, with a few micro-scratches linked to use.
Care Instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity or direct heat. Clean the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth, without aggressive products. It is recommended to store the pouch flat and filled with tissue paper to preserve its shape when not in use.
