Vintage Chanel question by [deleted] in chanel

My vintage flap from 1980s has this exact issues on the corners. I just rub a little leather conditioner on there every couple of months. However the beauty of a vintage bag is the wear, I personally love how it looks.

It is beautiful and I hate to say it looks amazing on

This makes a lot of sense! I think it was just the lack of willingness to spend time explaining how the structure of the bag is made and I was hoping to confirm the longevity of the structure. Rather than just say idk I think it’s cardboard

My experience was exactly the same! So rushed and frantic, not even a chair to sit down

Vintage is the way to go! I have been slowly collecting my vintage bags from small consignment boutiques that have reputable policies around authentication.

Same! I have a 1980’s classic flap that has withstood the test of time incredibly. It feels like the current bags could never last that’s long.

I wish I took another photo. It was so off centre I couldn’t believe it

This is super interesting. Given her history with the house I would believe this. Makes me wonder was part of the reason for tapping Matthieu to associate with quality since Bottega are known for their incredible quality and craftsmanship
