Description
History of the Model: Tweed has been an integral part of Chanel’s history since the 1920s, when Gabrielle Chanel borrowed from men’s wardrobes to create modern and comfortable pieces. Since then, the house has made it a signature material, reinterpreted each season in new palettes and textures. The model presented, from the 2016/17 collection, reflects this tradition while integrating contemporary details, such as two-tone finishes and mixed materials, which make it an emblematic piece of Karl Lagerfeld productions. Exterior Details: The tweed has a dense weave with crisscross patterns, subtly combining navy blue, red and white threads, with a diamond quilted effect. The flap is embellished with the iconic black metal double C clasp, while the cream leather sides provide contrast and flexibility. The two-tone chains with metal and leather links extend the Chanel spirit while guaranteeing shoulder or crossbody wear depending on preferences. Its compact dimensions (approximately 25 cm wide) make it an elegant accessory for everyday life as well as for more formal occasions. Interior Details: The interior is lined with light beige canvas, with a neat finish and clean stitching. It includes a spacious main compartment and a zipped pocket, both signed with the Chanel “Made in Italy” branding. Condition of the Product: The bag is in very good general condition. The outer tweed has no pilling or visible tears, and the leather parts maintain their uniform color without scratches. The chain is matte, without oxidation, and the metal elements are intact. The interior is clean with no stains or noticeable wear. It is accompanied by its original black dustbag stamped Chanel and the authenticity card corresponding to the internal number. Maintenance Tips: To preserve tweed, it is recommended to store the bag away from humidity and direct light, in its dustbag. In the event of a stain, spot cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. For leather maintenance, a specific milk applied occasionally will help maintain the suppleness of the sides. Why Choose this Product: This Chanel tweed bag from the 2016/17 collection embodies the link between tradition and modernity specific to the house. Its iconic material, its timeless format and its careful finishes make it a rare and sought-after piece by collectors of vintage Chanel bags. Delivered with its original accessories, it is a safe choice to enrich a collection or integrate a touch of history into a contemporary wardrobe.
