Mint green lambskin stitched in squares rather than diamonds, under a straight gold bar. Chanel's quilting reconsidered in the late 1990s.
This Chanel clutch dates from the late 1990s. It is made in mint green lambskin, quilted in a square 'chocolate bar' grid, and carried by a rigid gold-tone bar handle.
Quilting in squares.
Karl Lagerfeld became creative director of Chanel in 1983 and held the role until 2019. He reworked the house's codes, including its quilting, chains and colours.
Gabrielle Chanel introduced the 2.55 bag in February 1955, with diamond quilting that became a house signature. The square grid offers a geometric alternative.
The pale mint lambskin is set against polished gold-tone metal. Slight wear and a few small imperfections are visible; the dust bag, card and hologram are included.
Pale mint, polished gold.
Chanel bags from the 1990s continue to attract collectors, particularly in unusual colours. This one keeps its authenticity card and hologram.
Vintage Chanel bags continue to attract strong interest among collectors.
Light-coloured lambskin marks easily, so condition and documentation are assessed with care.
Quilting is a recognised Chanel code since the 2.55 bag of 1955.
