Chanel Quilted Lambskin Classic Single Flap Shoulder Bag

This is a vintage crossbody or shoulder bag, appearing to be from the mid-to-late 1990s, characteristic of Chanel's iconic aesthetic. The bag features a rectangular silhouette with rounded corners and is constructed from diamond-quilted lambskin leather in a light cream or off-white hue. It possesses a classic 'CC' interlocking turn-lock closure in gold-toned hardware on a small front flap. The design includes a long chain-link strap interwoven with matching cream leather, typical of the brand's 'bijoux' style. The quilting appears somewhat flattened, which is common for aged lambskin, though the stitch alignment on the front pocket flap shows attention to detail. Notably, the leather displays visible signs of wear and darkening, particularly along the edges (piping) and the leather weave within the chain, suggesting significant use and atmospheric patina. There are minor scuffs and surface indentations on the leather body. While the hardware retains its gold luster, consistent with the 24k gold plating used by Chanel during the 1990s, the overall condition of the leather shows moderate vintage wear. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the precision of the diamond stitching and the structured piping that defines the bag's shape.
