Chanel Vintage Small Classic Flap Exotic Lizard Leather 24K Gold CC Black Bag

Vintage Chanel 'Creme de la Creme'! Small classic flap crafted from lizard skin with exquisite 24 carat gold-plated hardware. Series 1,chanel square classic flap bag produced between 1989 and 1991.

In light of Chanel's 2018 commitment to cease using exotic skins, this bag is a rare find and a hot item for collectors, with great investment potential. It's a classic that can be worn from day to night and represents the best of vintage Chanel.

This black lizard skin classic flap bag features 24K gold-plated hardware, a front flap secured with a CC turn-lock, and a strap made of intertwined gold-plated chain links and leather. Inside, you'll find a black leather lining with an open compartment housing two pockets, and a designated area for lipstick storage. In terms of its condition, it's considered good for a vintage item, but there are signs of wear, including tarnishing, scratches, some loss of gold plating on the hardware and chipping along the edges of the CC (hidden under the turnlock, cannot be seen when the turn lock is closed) , slight creasing on the underside of the flap, minor scuffs, and wear on the interior leather. The serial number sticker is still intact, no authenticity card included. Size : 9" x 6" x 2,75", strap drop 9".

Welcome to Vintage Heritage, a collection of rare and hard-to-find vintage treasures curated by a fashion history enthusiast with over 10 years of experience. While my heart belongs to 90s Chanel, my closet also includes items from every decade - from 1950s Haute Couture creations by Gabrielle Chanel to modern pre-owned pieces, as well as my favorites from other beloved brands, such as Vivienne Westwood, Christian Dior, Dolce&Gabbana, and Thierry Mugler. I carefully curate each piece with a focus on quality, timeless style, and investment potential. Please note that I'm not affiliated with Chanel Inc or any of the other brands listed. All of the items in my collection are from my personal closet, and I take pride in offering authentic, pre-loved pieces that have been thoughtfully cared for.

When purchasing a vintage item, please keep in mind that it has had a previous life and may show minor imperfections as a result of its age and previous use.

Each item is stored in a smoke and odor-free environment and will be sent to you freshly cleaned by the finest dry cleaners. To further protect your investment, every item is authenticated by reputable 3rd-party authentication company and comes with an archival-quality garment bag.
