This is Chanel at its most playful. A vertical tote from the late ’90s, it features the house’s “Chocolate Bar”–style block quilting, reimagined with bold beach-print graphics and finished with dramatic black fringe. It’s fun, rare, and instantly recognizable as one of those whimsical seasonal pieces Chanel collectors chase.
The serial sticker 5960049 dates this piece to 1997–1999, placing it firmly within the late-’90s seasonal collections that paved the way for Chanel’s early-2000s surf and summer motifs. Unlike the better-known East-West versions, this is a taller tote profile—practical in shape but still packed with personality.
In terms of condition, the bag is in good vintage shape with light wear to the patent base and handles, consistent with age and use. The fringe remains intact, the graphics are still bold and vibrant, and the interior is clean with the original Chanel stamp. There are some light surface marks on the fabric exterior, but all of this is taken into account when pricing this rare bag
Chanel’s quirky late-’90s seasonal bags are becoming increasingly collectible, and this tote captures that era perfectly—beachy, bold, and beautifully offbeat.
