CHANEL Vintage Raffia / Woven CC Tote
A beautiful and increasingly collectible vintage CHANEL large tote, crafted in a natural beige woven/raffia-style material and finished with rich chocolate-brown leather detailing.
The understated design is absolutely stunning, featuring a large tonal interlocking CC motif subtly worked into the front of the bag rather than an oversized metal logo. Finished with long brown leather shoulder straps with contrasting stitching, brown leather trim and classic gold-tone CHANEL hardware.
The bag opens to a spacious brown fabric-lined interior, making this a fabulous everyday, shopping, travel or summer/holiday tote.

CONDITION – VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION
Considering its age, this bag presents beautifully.
The leather handles remain particularly attractive with lovely colour and clearly defined contrast stitching. The gold-tone magnetic fastening is clean and the CHANEL engraving remains crisp.
The woven exterior shows normal signs of vintage use, including some natural creasing/slouching, light variations in colour and areas of wear. There is some wear/fraying around the woven upper edge/corner area, as photographed. The base also shows age-related wear but remains well presented.
Please remember this is a vintage piece approximately 25+ years old, therefore minor signs of age and use should be expected and form part of its vintage character.
