Description
Model History:
This bag is part of the Chanel collections produced during the Karl Lagerfeld era, who took over as artistic director in 1983. From the beginning, Lagerfeld accentuated the use of the CC logo in oversized version, like here on the flap. This bold choice reflects the desire to modernize Chanel’s image while making its pieces immediately recognizable. Produced in limited series, these XXL logo models were very popular at the time and are today very popular on the vintage market.
Exterior Details:
The bag is made of black lambskin, with a smooth and slightly shiny finish, with characteristic diamond quilting. The large 24K gold-plated CC clasp immediately catches the eye and contrasts with the sobriety of the leather. The gold chain, interwoven with black leather, allows double wear depending on preference. Its compact dimensions of 21 cm in length, 12 cm in height and 4.5 cm in depth make it a discreet but structured format. The discreet logo embossed at the base of the bag adds an extra touch of authenticity.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with burgundy leather, the classic signature of vintage Chanel bags. It includes a patch pocket and a zipped pocket to organize your personal belongings. The CHANEL® stamp in gold appears under the flap, accompanied by the embossed logo. The interior space is well organized despite the compactness of the bag, allowing you to slip in a phone, wallet, keys and a few small objects.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good condition for its age. The leather has some slight signs of use visible up close, particularly on the corners, but remains supple and without cracking. The gold jewelry is luminous, without noticeable oxidation. The interior is clean and well maintained. The general structure is well preserved, with a flap that closes perfectly.
Care Tips:
It is recommended to regularly nourish the leather with a product suitable for lambskin to avoid drying out. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light or humidity. Store the bag in its original dustbag, padding it lightly to maintain its shape. Occasional cleaning by a luxury leather goods professional will help extend its lifespan.
