Description
Brand: Chanel Style: Camera Bag / Shoulder Bag Material: Lambskin Leather Exterior Colour: Black Hardware: Gold-Tone Dimensions: 13" W x 10" H x 3.5" D (approx.) Strap Drop: 17" (approx.) Interior: Burgundy leather lining with zip pocket Closure: Top zipper with CC tassel pull Era: Vintage, circa 1989-1991 Origin: Made in France Inclusions: None visible This vintage Chanel camera bag captures the house's signature aesthetic from the celebrated 1989-1991 period, when the atelier employed genuine 24-karat gold-plated hardware and supple lambskin skins. The diamond-quilted matelassé pattern, born of Coco Chanel's appreciation for jockey silks and geometric precision, wraps the structured silhouette in tactile depth. A leather-interwoven chain shoulder strap echoes the iconic 2.55's utilitarian origins, while the interlocking CC logo—engraved on both the exterior charm and the zipper's tassel pull—lends instant recognition. Inside, a burgundy leather lining with practical pockets unfolds. The camera bag silhouette itself emerged as a compact alternative to larger flaps, offering crossbody versatility without sacrificing the house's codes of quilting, chain, and turnlock elegance. Made in France and stamped accordingly, this piece represents Chanel's enduring synthesis of functionality and luxury.
