Constantly seeking inspiration from the world around him, Karl Lagerfeld placed tremendous value in his muses, as these fashionable women helped solidify his designs as timeless classics. As such, Princess Diana of Wales, the ultimate style icon of the ‘80s and ‘90s, had a tremendous impact on Lagerfeld and the living legacy of Chanel.
Produced from 1989 to approximately 1995, the Chanel Diana bag is a coveted find among vintage hunters and Diana admirers alike. This classic design closely resembles that of the Chanel Single Flap, and was sported so frequently by Princess Diana, that Karl Largefeld felt it only fitting to honour her in the name.
This vintage Chanel Diana Single Flap bag is crafted with black diamond quilted lambskin leather with 24k gold-plated hardware and a single leather-trimmed chain-link shoulder strap. There is a zip and a slip pocket inside this bag plus the interior is lined with maroon leather.
The serial number on the card tells us the bag was made between 1989 and 1991. This bag is in good vintage condition with some signs of use, some wrinkling and creasing to the leather.
The hallmark on the CC turn lock confirms the gold hardware is plated in 24K gold, a real collectors item. Before 2008, Chanel Classic Flaps with gold coloured hardware (chains, clasps, grommets, and CC turn locks) were all plated in real 24K gold.
The perfect style if you are looking for a vintage Chanel that is crossbody.
This bag comes with the serial number card and Entrupy certificate of authentication.
