Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap in Navy Blue Pearly Blue Caviar

 This is a 100% authentic Chanel Classic Medium Double Flap Bag in Navy Blue Pearly Blue Caviar with Shiny Light Gold Hardware.

RRP £9,020

A special "bleu fonce" shade for Spring of 2018.....dark navy in some lights and a gently shimmery, pearlescent petrol tone, in others..... it's subtle, subdued and effortlessly elegant.

 Crafted from a robust, grained calfskin caviar and lined in soft lambskin, there's enough room for all the basics and a perfect piece if you don't like to baby your bags.

Used and loved, it's not pristine but still such a stunning piece.

Condition - Good Used

Details -

At first review it looks in a Very Good condition and most definitely a lovelier piece in the flesh than a listing of it's wear makes it sound, (and photos makes it look!)

 The form has softened slightly with use, with creasing to the base, side panels and horizontally across the upper rear of the bag, however it will still hold it's shape well when empty.

The quilt is well defined, stitching unrubbed and chain and leather shoulder strap excellent.

There is corner rubbing, a rub above the CC plaque, a light scuff to the front, lower LH side, a light curved scratch to the rear, lower RH side, a three dot scratch to the LH side panel and linear scuffing along the base's rear edge. All shown in detail in the Photo Gallery below and much less noticable in use than the close ups make them appear. 

A dark mark to the front, LH side of the bag, (covered by the flap when closed,) with a corresponding dark mark to the upper RH side of the interior flap.

Surface scratches and dinks to the CC plaque with some silvery paling to the two lower curves and end of the central turnlock staff.

The two 'holding' stitches (that secure the inner flap to the rear of the bag) have loosened slightly with the RH sides being slightly wider, though are both in place.

Some minor splits to the surface of the hide to the rear where these two holding stitches are located, at the two sides of the flap where they meet the bag and the front, RH aperture corner. All present from construction and caused by the tension of the needle and thread as it pierces the hide. Appearing as tiny tears at the stitches puncture holes, they do not affect the use of the piece in any way.

Compression darkening to the caviar leather at each side of the inner flap there the chain strap and eyelets rest when the top flap is closed.

The curved profile of the front pocket of the bag is excellent however the panel behind (the aperture) has a minor lip to the centre, with slight creasing to caviar.

A scuff to the caviar on the rear wall of the front pocket, (location circled and shown with the zoom,) the popper holds nice and firmly.

A light, horizontal fingernail scratch to the smooth lambskin of the inner flap.

The lambskin interior is clean, displaying a few fingernail scratches, wear to the edges of the twin, slip pockets and a small catch to the lower, RH side on the slip pocket.
