Description
Model History:
The Chanel 25 cm double flap bag is in line with the 2.55 model created in February 1955 by Gabrielle Chanel, then revisited in the 1980s under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld with the introduction of the CC clasp. The examples from the years 1994-1996 are particularly sought after for their 24K gold-plated jewelry, a detail gradually abandoned by the house thereafter. This 25 cm format, often associated with the “Medium Classic Flap”, represents an ideal balance between capacity and elegance, becoming an essential reference for the vintage Chanel bag.
Exterior Details:
The bag is made of quilted black lambskin, with regular diamond stitching typical of vintage Chanel bags. The structured flap closes with a 24K gold-plated metal twist clasp. The gold chain interwoven with leather allows for comfortable shoulder wear, single or doubled. At the back, a patch pocket offers additional discreet space. The 25 cm dimensions correspond to a medium format, suitable for daily use while maintaining a compact and structured silhouette.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in burgundy leather, the signature of classic Chanel models from this period. It has a double flap with a zipped pocket under the first flap, as well as several compartments for organizing personal belongings, wallet and phone. The embossed Chanel logo and gold marking are present inside, consistent with the production period. The internal structure remains firm, testifying to the manufacturing quality.
Product Status:
The bag is in very good overall condition for a piece dating from the mid-1990s. The leather is shiny, with no signs of wear on the corners. The 24K gold plated jewelry retains a beautiful shine, with minimal signs of wear. The burgundy leather interior is clean, with no signs of use.
Care Tips:
It is recommended to store this vintage Chanel bag in a dry place, away from direct light. Regular maintenance of the leather with care adapted to lambskin will help preserve its suppleness. Avoid prolonged contact with humidity and store the padded bag to maintain its original shape and volume.
