Chanel Vintage Ivory Small Classic Flap - 0 series 1986-1989 - 24k gold plated

Vintage Chanel Classic Flap Ivory / off-white 24k gold plated hardware Size Small, 23 cm Purchased this bag on Japanese eBay and it was already repainted when I received it, but I sent it to Rago brothers for additional repairs. ⚠️ CONDITION PLEASE READ ⚠️ - repainted - no damage to corners - 4 grommets at the top of the bag that the chain passes through replaced (last pic shows before and after) - the two interior slip pockets were fully relined and restored in matching leather by Rago - hardware was polished when restored by Rago - the exterior leather has a stiff feel after being restored once by a previous owner (likely from a paint that was used in a restoration by a previous owner) - there are some areas where the paint on the strap is peeling - overall the leather in the strap is in good condition except for these few minor spots - a few dents to the base of bag as shown Overall in good vintage condition for an almost 40 year old bag. ✨ ✅ I purchased additional authentication from Real Authentication when I received the bag. Certificate included in the pics and Poshmark will also authenticate. Unfortunately after years of wear and a previous restoration from before I purchased, the serial sticker was partially covered with ivory paint and is no longer fully legible. But the first digit is 0, indicating that this is a 0 series 1986-1989 bag. 💌 Price reflects condition. Open to offers. Thank you!
