BLACK: In vintage condition. Outer jersey fabric with a very small hole at upper left edge of the outer flap and wear along the side edges where they join the leather. Leather sides and underneath exhibit scattered scuffs and wear along the edges. Chain and grommets with scattered wear to gold finish and two ends of the leather lacing remain stitched but tips loose. Turn lock finish good with minor wear to the mechanism collar. Interior jersey portions good. Red faille lining with wear and soil to edges consistent with frequent use. Gold printed "Chanel" logo somewhat worn, as well. BROWN: Jersey fabric good. Diamond stitching along sides and base not lining up precisely with stitching on front and back. Interior in good and clean condition. All chain straps and grommets good.
