This style with single chain strap and curved front panel, also known as the "Diana bag," was recently resurrected by Chanel due to its popularity, but not again in this quality and craftsmanship. This style is especially rare and hard to find in caviar leather.
The red caviar is a true red, beautiful against the gleaming 24k gold hardware. Most caviar red diana bags from this generation are previously white or beige bags that are redyed red; we do not list or sell redyed bags and this bag is originally red.
The long single woven shoulder chain can be worn long cross body (as it is a single chain) or doubled up as a short clutch, and the versatility makes it convenient for either work or play. This item is pre-owned and vintage, and a fabulous collectible piece.
This item is in excellent condition with very few signs of use. There is one visible flaw to mention and that is a very small pen mark on the front of the bag, along the edge of the top flap on the front, around 10 o'clock from the CC turnlock clasp. Unless mentioned, it is not noticeable, but if you peer closely at image 1 it is visible when zoomed in. Corners are clean with no signs of rubbing or scuffing. Gold hardware is a deep, yellow gold hardware and shiny. Note: Chanel no longer uses 24k gold to plate their golden hardware as they did with this model. Interior is clean. Please see photos for details.
