CHANEL Authentic Classic Classical Deca Quilted Deca Matelassé 33 Chain Timeless Shoulder Bag — Black / Gold Hardware Brand: Chanel Item: Deca Matelassé 33 Chain Shoulder Bag Condition: Good (Vintage) Era: c. 1985–1987 (0-series, Serial No. 0431373) Color: Black × Gold Hardware (24K GP) Material: Lambskin Size: W approx. 33cm / 13.0in × H approx. 22cm / 8.7in × D approx. 8cm / 3.1in Provenance: Appraised by pawnshop [A Rare Gem from Chanel’s Golden Age] This is an extremely rare “Deca Matelassé” from the mid-1980s, dating back to the early days of Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure. It exudes an overwhelming presence thanks to its substantial heft—unlike current models—and the “inverted trapezoid” shape unique to vintage pieces. • Rare 33cm size: Generous capacity that easily accommodates a long wallet, pouch, smartphone, and planner. A size that combines practicality with luxury. • Inverted trapezoid (V-flap) design: A design coveted by vintage enthusiasts that creates a sharper, more fashion-forward impression than a standard rectangle. • 24-karat gold plating: Characterized by a deeper, richer golden luster than current models—a hallmark of the serial number 0 series (manufactured 1985–87). • Premium lambskin: Crafted from the thick, fine-grained leather characteristic of this era, it offers a supple feel that molds comfortably to your hand. ■Condition • Overall: In very good condition for a vintage item, and the leather retains its luster. Additionally, while the padding has deteriorated, giving the bag a slightly spongy feel overall, this does not affect its appearance and does not pose any issues for use. • Corner scuffs: Present, but not particularly noticeable. • Interior: Shows some wear and tear from use.
