Vintage Chanel Matelassé Lambskin Chain Tote
Made in France, c. late 1990s–early 2000s
This vintage Chanel shoulder tote in soft black matelassé lambskin is a rare and beautifully structured example of late ’90s minimalism. With its clean open-top silhouette and dual chain-and-leather shoulder straps, it’s a timeless piece that quietly flexes its heritage. The signature diamond quilting, oval stitched CC logo, and burgundy leather lining are everything you expect from vintage Chanel—elegant, iconic, and unmistakably collectible.
Made in France and dating from the late 1990s to early 2000s, this piece has been well loved. There is some wear to the corners, and the chain shows visible tarnishing, but the body is still in great shape and the structure holds beautifully. The interior remains clean and intact.
Measurements 34 cm high x 32 cm wide x 10 cm deep with a 36 cm strap drop. It fits comfortably over the shoulder and has that classic French cool-girl feel, whether you’re dressed up or throwing it over denim.
This model is sometimes referred to as the Chanel Matelassé Lambskin Chain Tote or Shoulder Bag in vintage Japanese and European resale markets. It’s far less common than the more rigid Grand Shopping Tote, making it a quieter collector’s choice with just as much impact.
