Chanel Rare Grey Metallic Python Shanghai Flap Bag - GUARANTEED FREE SHIPPING WILL ARRIVE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IF PAYMENT RECEIVED WITHIN 72 HOURS. This exquisite Shanghai Flap Bag by Chanel is crafted of metallic grey python trimmed with antiqued silver hardware. The bag has a silver chain shoulder strap with matching python, which can be worn short (doubled) or long (single). The front lifting latch closure with signature CC logo opens the flap to reveal a two-tone leather interior, with a soft suede-like leather under the top flap and grey goatskin in the main compartment. The interior holds a side zippered pocket and engraved logo plate. This bag is perfect for fashion lovers and Chanel collectors alike, as it is a rare limited Shanghai bag which was produced for only one season. This bag also has wonderful investment potential, as Chanel constrains its supply, regularly raises prices and is generally regarded as a luxury favorite on the resale market and hard to find versions regularly sell for above their original retail prices. In addition, Chanel has banned the use of exotic materials including python in any of its future collections, furthering the investment potential of this piece. The bag has a 17XXXXXX date code for 2012-2013. Measurements: 9" x 6.5" x 2.5", 11"-21.5" strap drop. Condition: The bag is in overall excellent condition with no exterior stains or scuffs, clean corners and edges. The bag has a clean main interior free of smells, stains and scuffs, and gentle signs of use under the top flap with light scuffs. These issues are not immediately visible when worn as they appear on lining/inner side of top flap.
