First introduced in 1955 in the Coco Chanel era, the Chanel classic flap bag is one of the most iconic handbags ever made. The epitome of effortless chic, this handbag has proven itself as a truly timeless piece. Made from Chanel’s famously durable caviar leather, with a chain and leather interwoven strap, this gorgeous bag is as classic Chanel as it comes.
Features: Quilted black caviar leather exterior; gold tone hardware; leather and chain interwoven strap which can be worn as a single long strap or a doubled-up shorter strap; rear exterior slip pocket; CC turnlock entry to top flap; domed closure from inner flap into the main compartment; internal zipper pocket in top flap; 2 x slip pockets between interior and exterior; black leather lined interior with 3 x slip pockets.
Origin: Made in France.
Measurements: 25 cm (length) x 7 cm (width at base) x 16 cm (height) x 24/42 cm (shoulder strap drop).
Condition: Great condition. The exterior leather is in great condition, with the tiniest of scuffs visible upon close inspection, at two of the corners.
There is
also some vague structure loss around the base and corners, with a couple or creases here and there resulting from this.
The hardware is in great condition, with scratches and rubbing visible to the CC turn-lock, and a loss of gold tone visible to the front end of the twist piece, revealing a slightly bronzy colour. The strap is in excellent condition with very light rubbing visible to the leather component. The underside of the outer flap and top of the inner flap are in excellent condition with very light wear. The leather lined interior is clean and in excellent condition, with the odd light scuff at the outer top edge of the lining. There is a small area of damage inside the front slip pocket between exterior and interior, where it appears some glue has stuck together the front and back pieces of the pocket, and then been pulled apart, taking the very top layer of the lambskin off with it. There is a small area on the caviar side where the glue residue can be felt, but it is no longer sticky and not particularly noticeable.
Comes with: Luxe.It.Fwd dust bag.
Authenticity: Authenticity Guaranteed.
