Description
Model History:
The Diana bag, introduced by Chanel in the early 1990s, owes its name to Princess Diana, who frequently wore it, thus contributing to her notoriety. This model was produced until 1996, then reissued in limited editions, which gives the original versions a particular value on the vintage market. Recognizable by its slightly rounded silhouette and its structured flap, it is in line with classic Chanel bags while maintaining a distinct identity, between refinement and sobriety.
Exterior Details:
The bag is made of black lambskin, supple and smooth, with diamond quilting characteristic of Chanel creations. The rigid base and slightly rounded contours provide good support to the structure. The gold chain strap woven with leather allows it to be worn on the shoulder or across the body. The iconic gold “CC” clasp highlights the luxurious finish of the bag. Approximate dimensions are 22cm in length, 14cm in height and 6.5cm in depth, ideal for light everyday use or dressy outings.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with burgundy leather, signature of vintage Chanel bags, with a zipped pocket and a patch pocket. The “CHANEL ®” logo is stamped in gold on the lining. The space is optimized for the essentials: compact wallet, phone, keys and some personal effects. The leather interior finish demonstrates the care taken in the design, even in the invisible details.
Product Condition:
The bag shows moderate signs of wear, mainly on the lower corners and on the leather of the flap, visible in the detail photos. The metal parts retain their shine, with a few micro-scratches. The leather remains supple and well maintained, without major cracks. The interior is clean, with some discreet signs of use. The bag is generally well preserved for a piece from the years 1991–1994.
Care Tips:
Regular maintenance with a specific nourishing milk for lambskin is recommended. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light and humidity. Store the bag in its original cover or a cotton pouch, padded with tissue paper to preserve its shape. Call a luxury leather goods specialist for any deep cleaning.
