Chanel Vintage S/S 1991 Iridescent White 24K Gold Sequin Micro Mini Flap Bag

An ultra-rare and collectible treasure from Chanel’s iconic Spring/Summer 1991 collection. This exquisite micro mini flap bag is hand-embroidered with luminous white sequins, each catching the light with iridescent brilliance. The petite scale amplifies its rarity, embodying the playful yet opulent spirit of Karl Lagerfeld’s early 1990s vision for the house. The bag is finished with Chanel’s signature 24k gold-plated hardware, including the classic CC turn-lock closure and chain strap interlaced with white silk ribbon. Despite its delicate proportions, it radiates presence - perfect as a jewel-like evening piece or as a collector’s museum-worthy acquisition. This style appeared in several variations throughout the season, including a medium version in a similar iridescent white famously carried by Anna Wintour, a turquoise blue version featured on the cover of the official S/S 1991 Chanel catalog, and a mini size in white sequins worn on the runway by supermodel Karen Mulder. The present micro mini, in its pristine iridescent palette, remains one of the rarest iterations - seldom surfacing on the market and highly coveted by collectors. In good condition with some marks on the lining and strap. The serial number is intact, the card is missing. Dimensions: 5.75" x 4.25" x 1", strap drop 21.75".
