This is a beautiful example of early Chanel craftsmanship, made from soft quilted lambskin and finished with true 24-carat gold-plated hardware, a detail reserved for Chanel bags produced prior to the early 1990s. Compact, elegant, and effortlessly wearable, this camera-style silhouette is one of those pieces that feels timeless while remaining unmistakably vintage.
The bag features supple brown lambskin, classic diamond quilting, a leather-interwoven chain strap, and multiple gold CC details, including the zipper pull and exterior medallion. The interior is stamped Chanel® in gold, and the original serial sticker remains present.
The serial number 205193 dates this bag to approximately 1986–1988, placing it firmly within Chanel’s most collectible era of gold-plated hardware.
The bag has been professionally cleaned, and the 24-carat gold hardware has been professionally polished, restoring its rich, warm glow. The lambskin remains soft with a beautiful natural sheen. As expected for a piece of this age, there are signs of wear consistent with vintage use, including surface rubbing and interior wear, all of which have been factored into the overall condition and presentation.
This is a true vintage Chanel — not a modern reissue — offering authenticity, history, and that unmistakable old-world Chanel allure that collectors seek out.
