This rare, limited edition 1991 Chanel bag was featured in the Ad campaign this year featuring supermodel Christy Turlington (pictured). The body of the bag is made of a coated, finely woven raffia that is then quilted into the classic Chanel diamond pattern. It is edged in a back cotton grosgrain. The Chanel double C is woven on the bottom of the bag! Love that you can wear the chain strap long and over the shoulder or double for a more tote feel. Inside it is lined in a butter soft leather with with a slip pocket on one side and a zipped one on the other. So unusual and so very Chanel!
Guaranteed authentic. Hologram/serial number sticker intact inside. Dust Bag included. In excellent condition with one break to the cording running though the chain as pictured - this could probably be repaired quite easily through Chanel. The dress form it is photoed on is life size so illustrates how it sits on a real girl well. Also just as an aside - the ad shown is attributed as being from the 1980s all over the internet, however Christy did not become the face of Chanel until 1991 (though she did appear in the Fall Haute Couture 1990 ads for the first time) and I did find a source confirming this date for this ad.
9" W x 8.5" H x 8" D - the handle adds 10" to the height
