An exceptionally charming and increasingly sought-after Chanel collector’s accessory dating to the early 1990s.
Executed in quilted black satin with a delicate gold-tone chain and miniature CC logo, this tiny bag sits somewhere between jewellery, handbag and objet d’art — a playful miniature interpretation of the iconic Chanel flap bag silhouette.
Often referred to by collectors as the Chanel Micro Mini Flap Bag Necklace, examples of these unusual accessories appear only occasionally on the secondary market and have developed a dedicated following among Chanel collectors and lovers of the house’s more whimsical creations.
The bag is beautifully scaled as a statement necklace or evening accessory and makes an equally wonderful display item within a handbag collection.
Presented with a Chanel presentation box believed to be later associated with the item and not necessarily original to the bag.
Condition
Very good vintage condition with minor signs of age and handling consistent with vintage satin accessories. The satin remains clean and well presented, while the gold-tone chain retains a bright finish.
