Chanel — Cross-Stitch Quilted Tote
Navy · Calfskin · 34 × 18 × 11cm
Some quilting simply repeats a line; this one crosses it. Cast in supple navy calfskin, the diamond stitching here is doubled into bold cross-stitch instead of a single thread, turning a classic house shape into a signature all its own. Brushed gold CC hardware and woven chain-leather straps hold the house codes; the soft, slouchy body carries like a wardrobe staple you've already broken in.
Sling it over one shoulder for the commute, let it swallow a laptop for the weekend train, or carry it bare-handed into dinner and let the stitching do the talking — this is a bag built to move fast without looking like it's trying.
Navy earns its keep: play it against camel wool and cream cashmere for daytime polish, or ground a slip of ivory silk for evening. Gold jewellery — hoops, a signet, a fine chain — echoes the hardware without overstating it.
Condition: Presented in pristine condition with minimal signs of wear. The only notable trait is a slight softening of the internal cardboard structure, showing as gentle creasing consistent with the bag's age — it doesn't affect the exterior appearance or everyday usability.
