Yes! I made it just in time to see your awesome score! Super jealous that you got such a beautiful bag. I've actually been pining for a functional Chanel cross body because all my hand held bags are definitely not practical right now.
Not exactly a thrift store find but I did buy this beauty off Kijiji in February for $300 including delivery and he threw in the bottle of polish for me as well since he didn't have time to finish polishing before I bought it.
I still need to get around to actually doing the polish thing, putting in some drawer liners and setting it up. I've so far only managed to scrape out the horrid green drawer fuzz (I even found an antique fingernail *vomit*). I did learn during that long process that Lysol wipes dissolve antique glue that is animal based. Planning to set it up as my record table and use it to store records, blanket and towels since my condo is lacking in the large closet department. I've just lacked some serious motivation to finish things up since I got REALLY sick end of Feb right before COVID blew up in Canada (I'm still suspecting it was COVID that I had) and it took almost two full months to recover and feel okay. The other four months I've just spent procrastinating and talking about finally fixing it up.
. It is trimmed in the softest leather and the zippered attached mittens are half fabric half leather
Hope you'll be able to snap out of it!
