Vintage 1980s Karl Lagerfeld Chanel 24K GHW Maxi Vertical Shopping Tote Black Archival grail piece from the golden era of Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. This rare, oversized Maxi Vertical Shopping Tote (circa 1986–1988) is crafted from smooth, supple black lambskin leather across the main body, it features a contrasting diamond-quilted structural lower rim. This vintage icon is accented by interwoven 24K gold-plated chain shoulder straps and a unique, hanging leather-covered disk charm featuring an embossed gold-accented CC logo. Features an ultra-rare, perfectly intact 7-digit "0-Series" internal authenticity sticker (0821115), dating this authentic Karl Lagerfeld design specifically to the 1986–1988 premier production era. This was the very first wave of serialized bags ever produced by the house of Chanel. The sticker is entirely legible and displays vintage-correct security markers, including the opaque cutout film and serif footings on the numeric digits. Every metallic piece on this bag—including the interwoven chain shoulder straps, the circular top grommet eyelets, the interior zipper pulls, and the interlocking CC logo on the hanging leather medallion charm—is heavily plated in original, rich 24-karat gold.
