CHANEL Chain Shoulder Bag Matelasse Gabrielle de Vintage Calf Black x Gold Silver x Gold-Tone Hardware, Pre-Owned

Elevate your accessory game with this CHANEL Chain Shoulder Bag from the Matelasse Gabrielle collection, reimagined in vintage calf leather. The deepest Black is enhanced by two-tone hardware—gold-tone and silver-tone fittings—that gain character with time, making this pre-owned piece feel both iconic and uniquely yours.

Key Details

• Material: Vintage calf leather finished in CHANEL’s signature matelassé quilting for a supple, structured silhouette.
• Color & Hardware: Deep Black with gold-tone hardware and silver-tone fittings, creating a sophisticated, dual-toned look.
• Size: Approx. W20 cm × H14 cm × D8 cm. Shoulder strap length adjustable from about 88 cm to 154 cm for versatile wear as a shoulder bag or crossbody.
• Series & Serial: 26th series. Includes serial seals as part of its provenance.
• Pockets: External pockets not present; the bag emphasizes timeless profile and seamless silhouette.
• Condition Notes: External structure remains true to CHANEL’s iconic shape, with wear expected on vintage pieces. Inner state described as dirty, indicating recommended professional cleaning or restoration to reveal its full luster.
• Authenticity Clues: Serial seals present and dealer-recorded provenance noted under the Tokyo Metropolitan public safety framework for secondhand items.

Condition, Use & Provenance

This pre-owned CHANEL bag carries the refined aura of a vintage treasure. While the interior shows dirt, the exterior retains the bag’s architectural grace and the hardware’s shine, complemented by a patina that speaks to its history. The combination of vintage calf leather and matelassé quilting delivers a tactile, luxurious feel that's instantly recognizable as CHANEL. The 26th series designation adds a layer of collectability for fans who value era-specific CHANEL design.

Why This Bag Stands Out

• Timeless CHANEL silhouette that transitions seamlessly from day to night—whether you’re heading to the office, a weekend brunch, or an evening event.
• Matelassé quilting gives texture and depth to the classic black leather, elevating any outfit with subtle luxury.
• Two-tone hardware offers a versatile edge: gold-toned accents pair beautifully with warm-toned outfits, while silver-tone fittings add a contemporary contrast with cooler ensembles.
• Vintage calf leather develops a unique character over time, ensuring no two bags wear the patina in exactly the same way.
• Provenance and serial seals provide traceable lineage within a responsible secondhand market ecosystem.

Care & Practical Tips

To preserve the leather and hardware, consider a professional interior cleaning for the dirty lining, followed by gentle conditioning on the exterior. Store the bag in a dust bag away from direct sunlight and moisture. When wearing, avoid contact with water and oils to protect the finish and patina of the metal hardware. With regular care, this vintage CHANEL piece can continue to radiate timeless elegance for years to come.
