Description

Vintage, from Chanel spring-summer 1996 collection (stated 96P on box!). This adorably-shaped design gives this elegant vintage silhouette a charming touch. What makes it even better? The chocolate-brown colour is timelessly and warmly neutral, and darker tone enough for some evening occasions!

This rounded shape is particularly popular in China collector’s market. An interesting cultural fact, this vintage design has been dubbed “Chanel Yuanbao Bag” for its rounded shape that resembles the ancient Chinese gold ingot (Yuanbao ??).

It might be a mini size but very functional, thanks to its wide expanded sides (22 cm). It capable of holding in (larger) phone, small wallet, keys, beauty items and a few more essentials.
