Description from the seller
Chanel – Quilted Metallic Aged Calfskin Reissue 2.55 Double Flap 226 – Gold
The bag that started the history of modern luxury leather goods: conceived by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in February 1955 (hence the name 2.55), the Reissue represents the purest and most sophisticated essence of the Maison. This splendid version measures 226 and is crafted in aged metallic calfskin with a charming gold-tone metallic finish, featuring a refined crumpled texture that enhances its vintage charm. The design is completed by the famous rectangular Mademoiselle twist clasp and the legendary metal chain shoulder strap, fully metal and woven with flat links, without leather.
Produced in France, it is identified by serial number 17362173.
Conditions
Overall grade: Excellent (B+ Rating)
The accessory is presented in excellent conserved condition. The metallic aged leather retains its splendid sheen, preserving the extraordinary charm of the model.
Summary of conditions:
Exterior: The leather shows light general wear from normal use and minor natural adjustment creases on the front and back panels. Minor superficial cracks (minor cracked) and a small partial stitch opening (cut stitching) localized on one of the side profiles are noted, which do not compromise its sturdiness. The back pocket shows a minimal shadow or internal mark from contact.
Corners / Base: The base shows mild signs of wear; the corners display normal and delicate rubbing wear.
Shoulder strap: The fully silver-toned metal chain is solid, shiny, and perfectly preserved.
Hardware: The Mademoiselle rectangular clasp, zippers, and metal elements show light superficial scratches from contact.
Interior: The lining of the second inner flap shows normal signs of use, slight creases, and minimal superficial cracks at the points of bending.

Overview
The Chanel Reissue 2.55 in the famous 226 size is a mid-sized bag (comparable in capacity to a classic Medium/Large 11.12), considered among the most versatile and beloved of the entire collection for its perfect daily usability.

In this spectacular gold-toned metallic leather variant paired with silver hardware, it represents a rare, bold, magnetically luxurious piece that can become the luminous focal point of any wardrobe.
