Chanel Square Mini Appraisal

Vintage Chanel White Quilted Lambskin Square Mini Flap Bag

A vintage 1990s Chanel square mini flap bag featuring the house's signature diamond quilted lambskin in a creamy white/off-white hue. The bag is constructed with a structured, boxy silhouette and features a front flap secured by a gold-tone CC turn-lock closure. The exterior shows meticulous craftsmanship with high stitch density. The strap is a classic Chanel design, consisting of a heavy gold-plated chain interlaced with matching white leather. Regarding condition, there is several notable signs of wear consistent with age, including significant scuffing, darkening, and leather loss on the white lambskin strip interlaced through the chain. The body of the bag shows minor softening of the quilting and light creasing at the corners. The gold-tone hardware appears to retain much of its original luster but may have hairline scratches on the CC logo. This piece is representative of the late 1980s or early 1990s era of Chanel, a time known for high-quality, 24k gold-plated hardware. The diamond quilting remains relatively plump, and the overall structure remains intact despite the surface wear on the leather strap elements.
