Chanel Vintage Mademoiselle Black Lambskin 24K Gold Hardware Bag

Exterior:

The black lambskin leather exhibits visible signs of wear, including creasing, surface scuffing, and fading throughout. Certain areas of the leather have been professionally repainted in the same colour, blending well with the original material, though subtle differences in texture and sheen may be noticeable upon close inspection. The front flap has multiple faded areas, surface scratches, and slight discolouration in high-contact areas. The quilted pattern has softened over time, losing some of its puffiness. The edges and corners show noticeable rubbing, minor peeling, and fading of the leather, with some areas appearing retouched. The bottom panel has visible scuffing, scratches, and minor indentations, with one noticeable dark mark on the surface. The back panel has a few scratches and slight depressions along the quilted stitching.

Interior:

The burgundy leather interior remains structurally sound but exhibits visible signs of wear. The base of the interior has scuff marks, light indentations, and some faded areas. The underside of the flap has noticeable scuffing, scratches, and signs of use, particularly along the fold where it meets the body of the bag. The gold Chanel logo print inside is still visible but shows some fading. The edges of the interior pocket lining have minor peeling and rubbing, showing slight wear along the seams.

Hardware:

The gold-tone hardware exhibits signs of plating loss, tarnishing, and scratches. The CC turn-lock closure has noticeable plating loss, particularly at the bottom of the clasp, where a darker base metal is exposed. The hardware around the flap opening has slight dulling and surface scratches.

The gold-tone chain strap maintains its shine but has minor fading and surface scratches. The eyelets where the chain passes through have visible dulling and minor tarnishing.

Strap:

The leather-interwoven chain strap exhibits visible wear on the leather portions, including creasing, slight cracking, and dryness. The leather threading through the gold chain shows fraying in certain areas, though the strap remains structurally intact and fully functional.

Inclusions:

Overall:

This Chanel Vintage Mademoiselle Bag in black lambskin remains a highly collectible piece, though it exhibits signs of wear, with some areas professionally repainted to restore the leather’s appearance. The leather shows scuffing, fading, and dryness, particularly on the front flap, edges, and corners. The gold-tone hardware has plating loss and tarnishing, especially on the turn-lock closure and chain strap. The interior remains functional, with some scuffing and fading on the lining.

Despite its visible wear and touch-ups, the bag remains fully functional, with a secure turn-lock closure and a sturdy strap. A highly desirable vintage Chanel piece, ideal for restoration or professional conditioning.
