Vintage Chanel Black Matelassé Coco Crush Turn lock Shoulder Bag

The Tanpopo says

As with the concept of The Tanpopo Cellar, this is a stunning RARE FIND of vintage Chanel matelasse bag from the early 90s.
It is SO SO SO CHIC. I can't address that enough!

Classic Chanel bag in black lambskin and gold hardware — but not the usual ones that everyone has. First off, the Coco Crush turn lock is absolutely gorgeous: it is so special! Only certain era of Chanel bags comes in this turn lock style.

Then we have to talk about the modernity of the bag design.
This avant garde boxy shape, yet pairing with classic diamond quilted leather design. The shoulder strap is also in an interesting slanted design to create a slimmer impression of the bag - such a great detail!

There's a mirror built-in on the under side of the flap, which I found so fun and considerate. Design back in the days were definitely circle around great user experience! 

This bag is built sturdy: it can stand alone on its own, and retain the same shape regardless of how much things are put into it.
I love that the condition is still amazing, meaning there's no deform on the corners or weaken leather parts.

A timeless design from Chanel that will NEVER go out of style!

I've sent this to bag spa in Japan for general cleaning and maintenance, so it's in the best condition as it can be! She is one of a kind :)

Please be mindful that every vintage piece has led a previous life, and may tell its story through minor imperfection. I try to include as much details as possible through descriptions below and photos here.

Please message if you have additional questions. 

I hope this goes to someone that will truly treasure and love such a unique piece!
