How are the denim cabas holding up?

I saw this bag at my local store today. I thought it was clean and chic [emoji4] it also comes in red, I believe

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what this bag is called and when it might have been released? It looks like a hybrid between the classic (double) flap bag and a 2.55 with that metal chain strap. It seems authentic to me (I have 4 other vintage Chanel bags for comparison) but other examples I've seen of this bag online refer to it as a 2.55 Reissue ca. 1990s and other examples call it a Classic Flap bag ca 1980s. I am so smitten by that gold chain strap but would love to know more about this bag before I go on a serious hunt! Thanks so much!

Here's a link to one. I'm guessing it's 1983 or 1984, so pre-serial codes.

This one came just a few years later and looks slightly diff. The knob is round instead of square, among other things. https://www.fashionphile.com/chanel-lambskin-medium-mademoiselle-chain-double-flap-black-91192

Awesome. Thanks for the links! I think you’ve found it. Love that this style is right from the beginning of the Karl era. Now I just need to get my hands on one! I wonder if that accounts for some of its hybrid look? Anyway, absolutely love the cc turn lock with that mademoiselle chain strap. Looks so posh! Thanks again for your help!
