Chanel Flap Bag black vintage
Rare collector's item – Vintage Chanel Flap Bag in Black (1983)
This Chanel bag dates back to the time before the introduction of the serial number system and was one of the first bags with a CC turnlock closure.
A true piece of fashion history. Crafted from black lambskin leather with the iconic CC twist lock and gold-tone hardware, it embodies the unmistakable style of the Maison Chanel in its purest form.
With its classic design, fine craftsmanship, and the patina charm of genuine vintage pieces, it is not just an accessory, but an expression of character and elegance – and a rarity for collectors and style-conscious individuals.
Dimensions: Very well-kept vintage condition with light patina on the corners and edges.
The gold-colored hardware shows age-related wear and has partially lost its original gold plating over the years – an authentic vintage character that underlines the history of the bag.
The bag was completely cleaned and the corners were reworked before sale.
It has also been certified by an independent appraiser and the certificate of authentication is included with the bag.
A true original – for everyone who loves fashion with history.
Chanel
Chanel introduced the identification code (also serial number or authenticity code) for bags in 1984.
1983: When Karl Lagerfeld took over as creative director at Chanel, he introduced many innovations—including the version of the 2.55 with the CC Turnlock closure, often referred to as the "Classic Flap."
