Model History:
This wallet is in line with the iconic accessories of Chanel, a house founded in 1910 and recognized for its timeless elegance. During the 2000s, Chanel developed numerous models in caviar leather, a material appreciated for its resistance to wear. The double C logo, designed by Coco Chanel and made famous by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s, remains a distinctive element omnipresent in the brand’s leather goods. This wallet embodies the minimalist and functional aesthetic of this era.
Exterior Details:

The rectangular format with rounded corners is held closed with a sturdy snap button. The seams are clean and even, demonstrating high-end manufacturing quality. The wallet measures 11.5 cm wide and 10 cm high.
Interior Details:
The interior is conveniently arranged with several card slots, a note compartment and a coin pocket closed with a press stud. The lining is in smooth black leather, with the golden “CHANEL” and “Made in France” stamp visible. Each interior element is designed for clear organization, while maintaining a finesse adapted to small formats.

The interior is clean, the compartments are intact and the pressure closes correctly. The golden markings are still legible. No structural defect is to be reported.
Care Tips:
To maintain grained leather, it is recommended to clean it occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoiding aggressive products. Storing it in its original box, away from humidity and direct light, will preserve its shape and texture. Regular use of a nourishing leather treatment can prolong its suppleness and shine.
