Authentic Chanel Luxury Ligne Expandable Tote - 13 Series ​Description ​Authenticity & Heritage: This is an authentic Chanel Luxury Ligne Expandable Tote, featuring the iconic oversized CC stitching and silver-tone hardware. This piece was sourced directly from a reputable licensed luxury importer in Japan and comes with the original Authenticity Card and a matching internal Serial Sticker (13525328), dating the bag to 2009–2010. ​Key Features: ​Expansion: Features a wrap-around heavy-duty zipper that allows the bag to expand for extra capacity. ​Hardware: Silver-tone CC charm zipper pull and chain-link shoulder straps. ​Interior: Clean interior with "Chanel Made in Italy" silver foil stamp. ​Condition Report (Please Read Carefully): I am listing this bag in Fair Condition as it is a project piece that requires professional restoration. ​Exterior: The patent leather coating is experiencing typical age-related "plasticizer migration," making the surface feel tacky/sticky to the touch. ​Peeling: There is active flaking/peeling of the black patent coating, particularly on the shoulder straps and the edges (see photos). ​Base Material: The underlying leather substrate is intact and structurally sound, but the glossy top finish is disintegrating. ​Summary: This is a rare opportunity to own a genuine Chanel piece at a fraction of the market price. Ideal for someone experienced in leather restoration or for a professional bag spa to strip and re-dye. Once restored, these bags retail for significantly more. ​Sold as-is. Please review all photos of the surface degradation before purchasing.
