Description
History of the Model: The Timeless Classic model, designed by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s, reinterprets the 2.55 bag designed by Gabrielle Chanel in 1955. If the original version had a rectangular “Mademoiselle” clasp, the Timeless adopts the double C logo which has become a strong signature of the visual identity of the house. Chanel has regularly declined this model in seasonal materials inspired by ready-to-wear fashion shows, notably in tweed or worked fabric, making each edition both identifiable and unique. This two-tone version with pompoms evokes the textured and contrasting world of the Métiers d’Art collections, where artisanal know-how is highlighted. Exterior Details: The body of the bag is made of a dense weave cotton fabric, embroidered with black threads forming a graphic pattern on a white background. Decorative black and white twisted yarn pom poms are hand applied across the entire surface, lending a three-dimensional dimension and almost sculptural appearance. The flap is decorated with the iconic double C clasp in polished silver metal, discreet but instantly recognizable. The interwoven chain of white and black fabrics allows great flexibility of wear. Interior Details: The interior is lined with reinforced cotton beige canvas fabric. We find the tone-on-tone embroidered CC logo under the top flap, a “CHANEL – Made in France” label, as well as a spacious main compartment accompanied by a patch pocket and a secondary pocket for small objects. The serial number is visible inside, confirming the authenticity of the piece. No defects or notable traces of use are present inside, which testifies to careful use. Product Condition: This bag is in very good condition, with a perfectly preserved structure. The outer fabric has no tears or discolorations, the pompoms are intact and well fixed. The clasp works smoothly and the chain is free of oxidation. The interior is clean, without stains or tears. Care Instructions: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light and humidity to preserve the luster of the fabric and the integrity of the pompoms. Storage in a fabric cover, protected from dust, is recommended. In the event of a stain, call a textile cleaning professional specializing in luxury accessories. Why Choose this Product: This Timeless Chanel in embroidered fabric and pompoms embodies a rare and expressive version of an iconic model.
