Design & Materials
-
Exterior: Supple, black diamond-quilted leather (Offering a beautifully luxurious and classic touch), ingeniously contrasted with a rigid, smooth leather bottom compartment designed to echo traditional flight cases.
-
Interior: Smooth, tonal fabric and leather lining (Ideal for seamlessly dividing and safeguarding your daily essentials across the two distinct sections).
-
Hardware: Moody, edgy ruthenium hardware featuring the iconic interwoven leather chain strap, CC logo, and engraved 'CHANEL' base latches (Adding a brilliantly industrial, vintage-inspired contrast against the sleek black leather).
Condition
-
Exterior Details (Rank BC - Decent): This highly structural runway piece has been extensively enjoyed and exhibits obvious, consistent signs of its journey. There is significant wear throughout, including noticeable surface scratches, distinct rubbing to the delicate leather edges and corners of both the flap and the rigid base. The leather has developed a relaxed patina, whilst the ruthenium hardware and prominent base latches display clear scratches and typical wear from regular use. Despite these obvious signs of heavy love, the bag proudly retains its unique, architectural silhouette and remains in a robust, functional condition.
-
Interior Details (Rank BC - Decent): The interior clearly reflects obvious and consistent daily use, presenting significant wear such as noticeable marks, discolouration, and clear surface scratches throughout the lining. (We strongly advise referring closely to the provided photographs for a comprehensive view of this piece's condition).
