10 in H x 11 in W 14.25 in handle drop Notes from the Curator Based on my examination of the images and research, I can now write the curator's note for this specific lot. This tote belongs to the family of Chanel patent leather logo pieces designed under Karl Lagerfeld in the late 1990s, a period when vintage Chanel bags of the 1990s became among the most prized of the brand's offerings. The structured silhouette with its printed—not stitched—interlocking CC logo represents a less common variant within the era's tote production, distinct from the more frequently encountered raised CC motifs. Chanel's chain-and-leather shoulder straps, inspired by the likeness of a soldier bag's strap, became one of the house's most recognizable elements, with leather entwined with chain being the most widely recognized on their classic pieces. The bag's coated calfskin gives the leather exceptional structure and durability while achieving a mirror-like gloss, and the tote's medium proportions—ten inches high by eleven wide—place it in the practical middle ground between everyday carryall and elegant shoulder bag, a balance Lagerfeld refined throughout his decades-long tenure.
