More Chanel bags to come!

I will be picking up several more Chanel bags (from Chanel) this week, so please check back!

#11 Chanel Vintage Black Jumbo Flap Bag 12" wide

Beautiful Chanel Jumbo Flap - great size for everyday use.
Black lambskin leather with gold hardware.
This bag has recently been fully serviced by Chanel and will come with a copy of the receipt.
The hardware was replated or replaced, the chain was replaced, and the leather was refinished.
Overall, the bag is in very good condition, however, it is a vintage bag and shows signs of wear (mainly wrinkling of the leather).
Because of this, I would prefer the buyer to inspect the bag in person to make sure she is happy with the purchase.

Current jumbo sells for $4000
Price: $1800

Bag #7 Marc Jacobs Limited Edition Venetia Bag in Black SOLD

Marc Jacobs Classic Venetia Bag with a Twist
This is a limited edition bag made with coated canvas and leather
Because of this, it's lighter in weight than the full leather Venetias

Features two front pockets with gold pushlock closure
It is in excellent condition with very minor wear to the corners and slight darkening of the inside suede lining
Comes with original dustbag

Originally: $1095
