Chanel, Vintage 80s Black Half Moon Flap Handbag, Lambskin

Vintage classic Chanel bags are known for their petal-soft lambskin, 24k gold plated hardware and sturdy craftsmanship. This vintage classic flap bag is a favorite among celebrities, stylists and Chanel enthusiasts for not just the craftsmanship but the bold look of Chanel amidst sleek curves and the crossbody style. Its interior was relined by Chanel , so the 'MADE IN FRANCE' and hologram sticker are no longer present. This is very common for this model as the taller profile traps humidity between the pocket sides and stickiness over the decades (almost 35 years). But the exterior still retains the original puffy soft quilts and not refurbished. Corners are clean with no rubbing or scuffing. Hardware is clean and shiny. However, there is some fading to the 24k gold plating. It is a deep, yellow 24k gold plating. Interior is clean. And the upper zipper has a Chanel locket for a pull, although the zipper needs to be adjusted slightly as it is slightly misaligned. It's "mini" size has a length of 8 inches, but with a taller profile and roomier interior. Snap top closure. Single woven chain can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. Measures 7.25in. W (at widest point) x 7in. H x 2 in. Only one owner. As time passes by, these bags get harder and harder to find in good condition! Because of the slight fading of the logo, the price has been reduced.
