Chanel - Timeless Classic Flap Medium - Handbag

Chanel Timeless Medium Vintage White Lambskin Shoulder & Crossbody Bag – Silver Hardware

An elegant vintage Chanel Timeless Medium crafted in beautifully supple white quilted lambskin with silver-tone hardware. Its iconic silhouette, refined proportions and leather-interwoven chain allow it to be worn comfortably on the shoulder or crossbody, making it one of Chanel’s most timeless and desirable classic designs.

Measuring approximately 24 cm (W) × 18 cm (H) × 7 cm (D), it offers the perfect balance between elegance and practicality, with a spacious interior suitable for everyday use.

The bag retains its original serial number sticker and will be delivered with its matching Chanel authenticity card, a certificate of authenticity, and a recent Chanel shopping bag, making it an attractive set for collectors, presentation or gifting.

The lambskin remains exceptionally soft and supple, with no unpleasant odors, and the bag presents beautifully overall. As expected from an authentic vintage white Chanel, it naturally shows signs of careful use acquired over the years, all of which are accurately illustrated in the accompanying photographs.

The leather has preserved its beautiful appearance and character, displaying natural creasing and gentle surface marks consistent with a well-preserved vintage piece. The back and base show light signs of use, including a few superficial scratches, gentle impressions and faint greyish shading around certain edges, corners and the bottom. These remain purely cosmetic and do not detract from the bag’s elegant overall presentation.

The leather interwoven through the chain shows gentle vintage wear, including slight darkening, light creasing and minor handling marks consistent with age.

The interior is clean and well preserved, with light signs of previous use. The textile zip pocket shows two small marks, while a slightly darker mark is visible beneath the “Made in France” stamp. A few light traces of use may also be present inside some pockets, as shown in the photographs. The leather lining remains clean, supple and presents beautifully overall.

The silver-tone hardware displays light scratches and micro-scratches consistent with normal use. A few discreet darker marks remain visible on certain metal elements, particularly around the chain hardware, without affecting the overall elegance of the bag.

At some point in its life, the bag received a light professional cosmetic refresh to revive the brilliance of the white leather while preserving its authentic vintage character. This subtle treatment was carried out solely to enhance its overall appearance without altering the bag’s original charm. The result is a bright, elegant presentation while maintaining the authenticity and character expected from a genuine vintage Chanel.

Overall, this is a beautiful vintage Chanel that has aged gracefully. It combines wonderfully soft lambskin, a luminous white appearance and an elegant structure while honestly reflecting its history through authentic signs of wear. Increasingly sought after by collectors, it remains a timeless Chanel classic ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.

The bag will be carefully packaged and shipped promptly via Catawiki Smart Shipping. The shipment will benefit from full insurance and tracking, ensuring safe and secure delivery to its new owner.
