Pre-owned Chanel matelassé single flap
This rare Chanel Single Flap bag is one of the first models featuring the iconic CC turn-lock, a design introduced by Karl Lagerfeld after he joined Chanel as creative director in 1983. The CC logo has since become an unmistakable symbol of Chanel. This bag dates from 1983–1985, before Chanel started using serial numbers in their bags. It is crafted from dark blue lambskin leather, which appears almost black, and the hardware is plated with 24-karat gold. The hardware remains fully gold and is in very good condition. The leather feels soft and is in excellent shape. There are light signs of wear, mainly on the corners and edges, which is to be expected for a bag of this age and only enhances its vintage character. The interior of the bag is clean. This bag tells a story and is a perfect addition to the wardrobe of any true vintage enthusiast. To get an accurate view of the bag’s condition, we recommend carefully reviewing the attached photos.
Like most vintage bags, this bag features a shorter chain, which means it cannot be worn crossbody by most people. However, it remains a versatile and stylish piece. The shorter chain makes it perfect to wear as a shoulder bag or handbag. Additionally, the chain can be tucked inside the bag, allowing it to be carried as a clutch. This bag exudes timeless elegance and is perfect to pair with any outfit..
The bag comes with an Entrupy certificate of authenticity, a Purse Curse dust bag, and a Purse Curse bag hook, allowing you to store it safely.
