Vintage Chanel Dark Brown Matelassé Quilted CC turn lock Envelope Flap Bag

The Tanpopo says

This is an ultra rare vintage Chanel '90s classic Tote in a lovely medium size, with all your favorite Chanel signatures like the gold CC turn lock and diamond quilted Matelassé design, all in a gorgeous brown color with an envelope flap opening!

(I've seen this once in black but never in brown, and it's a bag that's very difficult to find even in the preloved market now.)

This style of Chanel bag is so so so classy, and with design so timeless, it'll be that one bag that you never let go!

Love that this bag has double should straps to make it very practical (and pretty cute!). The bag is built sturdy with lots of room for all your daily essentials and more. It fits an iPad and/or books if that's what you love using the bag with.

There's also a large back slip pocket, so it's perfect for storing phone and cards as an easy access point.

Thanks to the stunning brown shade, this bag works in all seasons. I think it looks really cute with outfits that are more casual (for cafes or weekend brunch), but can be pretty elegant when dress up too. Such a versatile piece.

It's been brought to bag spa for general cleaning and maintenance, so the condition is excellent! I'm sure you will love it.

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!
