Description
Model History:
The Diana model was introduced into the Chanel collections in the 1989s and remained in production until the mid-1990s. Popularized by Princess Diana herself, this model now bears her name in homage to his iconic style. Unlike the classic Flap Bag, the Diana is distinguished by a slightly rounded flap and more framed quilting. Today, this bag is one of the most sought-after vintage Chanel pieces, particularly for its rarity and its strong link with the aesthetic of the 90s.
Exterior Details:
The brown lambskin displays regular quilting with an underlined frame, characteristic of the Diana model. The gold CC clasp in aged gold metal retains its shine and is part of a sober but luxurious approach. The chain strap interwoven with leather allows for elegant shoulder wear. The dimensions of the bag are 22 cm wide, approximately 14 cm high and 7 cm deep. The back has a discreet patch pocket, practical for small items.
Interior Details:
The interior, lined with tone-on-tone smooth leather, includes a main compartment with a zipped pocket as well as a patch pocket, allowing for simple but effective organization. The golden “CHANEL®” inscription is present under the flap, as well as the words “Made in France”, attesting to its authenticity. The internal finishes demonstrate the artisanal know-how of the house.
Product Condition:
This bag is in very good vintage condition. The exterior leather has visible wear marks on the corners and slight loss of structure due to age, with no major sagging. The clasp works perfectly, and the strap remains solid. The interior shows some signs of use, but remains clean and intact. No structural defect is to be reported.
Care Tips:
To preserve the suppleness of lambskin, it is recommended to nourish it occasionally with a specific care for smooth leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light and humidity. Storage must be done flat in a fabric bag, without excessive pressure so as not to deform the structure.
