After months of searching, I finally picked up my vintage classic flap (medium) just now! She's a 0 series and my first vintage. Searched high and low for a 0 series vintage as I want a bag that's produced around the year I was born (for sentimentality LOL).

This beauty is 34/33 years old and despite the expected signs of usage, still looks and feels amazing! It's incredible how well-made the bag is. It's also a bonus that she's one of the uncommon pieces stamped with 'MADE IN FRANCE COCO'. Sorry for spamming with photos, but she's just so beautiful! :love:

Thank you so much! :heart: I can't believe how lucky I am with the bag. Her previous owner(s) must have taken very good care of her. She's almost a full set; didn't come with booklet, receipt. And I'm not too sure if the box is the original box that came with the bag because I rarely see white Chanel boxes, besides the ones from 31, Rue Cambon..?

Well honestly from the original parts I bet you have everything you need (authenticity card and dust bag)! Even if the box isn't the original, it will be great to have in the future I'm sure! Congrats again! Enjoy your new baby!

Who would have thought that my dream bag was something so out of the box :P This little wooden box/bag had me thinking about it almost every day ever since the first leaks of it. Yes, it gets so obsessive when it comes to wanting something really bad. Oddly enough, when I saw it as a display piece for the first time in person - a wave of calmness soon swept over the initial excitement in me. It wasn’t quite what I expected myself to feel when my dream bag is in front of me. Perhaps because I’ve studied so many pictures of it that it felt all too familiar. Like I already knew it inside out and that it had to be mine, someday, somehow - you betta. My SA must have felt that for her to go through what she did for me to get this.

Coincidentally, I was able to visit her just two days ago to browse some fine jewellery and this particular display piece again (when it was not allowed to be sold yet). I already treated it like it was my baby, placing it ever so gently back onto one of the highest shelves in the store after viewing, muttering, “I hope nobody else touches it.”

Fast forward to today, I was uncontactable for half an hour when my SA tried to call me that she had this for me, the “battle” among SAs was getting intense as it was apparently a hot item. We both agreed that my visit two days ago really paid off, because I was so committed to this piece then - for her to have held onto it with faith for me.

I happily picked up a necklace as well. The chain of this pink gold necklace glistens beautifully! Thanks for reading my story! :smile::heart:
