Rare Chanel Vintage Black Lambskin Diamond Quilted Logo Brooch Flap Bag

 The Tanpopo says

We love understated branding for our vintage designer bags here, and this rare vintage Chanel from early 80s is no exception. 

I've been hunting for this bag for a while, first spotted it once a year ago... and here it is! This flap bag is for someone that likes a vintage Chanel uniquely hers.

Adorned with an unique brooch-like CHANEL rounded logo plate on the front, that's the main accent for the entire bag! Not the classic CC turn lock or CC mark, it will definitely get people asking and staring since it's so so so different!

The nice 24k gold plated shoulder chain, with the classic diamond quilted stitching, it's such a signature from Chanel that it won't be mistaken for others. Upon opening the bag, you'll find a stitched CC logo mark on the inner flap. 

This bag is a smaller side flap bag, but will fit all your ladies' daily essentials just fine. And I have added an extra bag liner for you guys, so it gives the bag a more structured look, since the lambskin leather is quite soft!

Chain allows wearing on the shoulder or crossbody, but if you clasp the chains from both ends together (with a small hook and what not) inside the bag, it can be worn as the shorter shoulder bag, such a cute look!

Leather condition is excellent considering its age, not much scuffs or damage on the corners and rims, inside is quite nice as you can see in the photos too. Don't miss out this rare piece!
