Chanel - 2.55 - Shoulder bag

Chanel – Quilted Aged Calfskin Reissue 2.55 Double Flap 226 – Blue Navy
The most authentic and intellectual essence of the Chanel Maison: created by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in February 1955, the Reissue 2.55 is the bag that revolutionized how women wear accessories. This splendid 226 size version is made from aged calfskin in blue navy, characterized by its iconic slightly crumpled texture that gives the model an unmistakable vintage charm. Completing the design are the famous rectangular twist lock "Mademoiselle" and the chain strap fully in metal with flat links.

Made in Italy, it is identified by serial number 14582850.

Conditions
Overall Grade: Excellent (B+ Rating)
The accessory presents itself in excellent conservational condition. A prior professional restoration of the color on the four external corners (corners repainted) is noted, performed to restore aesthetic uniformity to the bag.

Summary of conditions:

Exterior: The aged leather shows slight natural creasing and normal signs of wear from contact on the front, back, and base. Some minimal areas of stitching holes slightly loose on the back quadrant and side profiles are noted, which do not compromise the integrity of the structure.

Corners: Show slight wear from rubbing under the color restoration.

Shoulder strap: The fully metal chain is solid and structurally perfect.

Hardware: The Mademoiselle clasp and secondary metal attachment components show surface scratches from use and natural tarnish or oxidation typical of a vintage effect (rusty/tarnished).

Interior: The lining of the second internal flap in leather shows light creases, surface scratches, and normal signs of use. Minimal contact stains are noted inside the slip pockets and the external rear pocket.
