TWO DECADES OF CHANEL

From the same closet, are two Chanel bags from two different decades. The top selection is a 1990s era black with rhodium hardware 2.55 classic quilted shoulder bag that works with any color metal....enough with the "I can't carry a handbag with silver hardware when I am wearing yellow gold!" We have you covered in the perfect bag that goes both ways.

Alternatively, if you are strictly a golden girl, the duo strap quilted 80s-era tote with magnetic snap closures, features gold hardware plus outdoor pockets on both sides of the bag. It's big enough for a small Vaio so this could be your new computer bag, if you are not carrying a computer from the 1980s! The bag may be 80s, but your technology needs to be 21st Century to use this bag in versatile ways!

Both bags were lovingly restored by our fantastic leather restorer, Jacob on 3rd Street.
