A true vintage treasure from Chanel’s mid-90s archive. This Classic Flap Jumbo in beige caviar leather features the coveted vertical quilting — a hallmark of the 1994–1996 era that distinguishes it from the standard diamond quilt seen today and on most pieces in circulation. Rarer, more collectible, and increasingly difficult to find on the secondary market.
The caviar leather has aged with character over three decades, retaining its signature pebbly texture and structured silhouette. The 24K gold-plated hardware remains bright and crisp, and the iconic woven leather-threaded chain offers versatile single or double carry.
This bag tells a story. For the collector who appreciates authentic vintage provenance over pristine perfection.
