View attachment 4247079 Dear fellow chane lovers, I just ordered my first vintage chanel bag from a hongkong seller on Instagram (who seemed to be very credible from the reviews). She claimed to have purchased all the bags from a reliable vintage seller in Japan. I was overjoyed with how well the bag was maintained given its old age (it’s a 0 series, so it’s 30+ year old!) But as she sent more pics after it arrived from the Japanese seller, I’m seriouly panicking because 2 things that I haven’t noticed before:1. The bottom and sides have no diamonds ( how have I not seen that before )
2. The flap closure is a straight line instead of a slight curve like all the other bags.
She explained that it was the specific style of medium cf from the year, but couldn’t find too much reference. I have asked her if she could send more pics so that I could authenticate it online before she sends out(still waiting for her reply) At the meantime I would like to share these pics in case if anybody knows about this style.
I really regret not doing more research before pulling the trigger... I hope this bag is authentic, in which case I would probanly appreciate the uniqueness of this vintage style. (I actually found one post of the same style from the vintage library on this forum after I looked though 20+ pages.)
Let me know your thoughts! Really appreciate it!
