[A Rare Gem from Chanel’s Golden Age]

This is an extremely rare “Deca Matraisse” from the mid-1980s, dating back to the early days of Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure. It exudes an overwhelming presence thanks to its substantial heft—unlike current models—and the “inverted trapezoid” shape unique to vintage pieces.

• Rare 33cm size: Generous capacity that easily accommodates a long wallet, pouch, smartphone, and planner. A size that combines practicality with luxury.

• Inverted trapezoid (V-flap) design: A design coveted by vintage enthusiasts that creates a sharper, more fashion-forward impression than a standard rectangle.

• 24-karat gold plating: Characterized by a deeper, richer golden luster than current models—a hallmark of the serial number 0 series (manufactured 1985–87).

• Premium lambskin: Crafted from the thick, fine-grained leather characteristic of this era, it offers a supple feel that molds comfortably to your hand.

■Condition

• Overall: In very good condition for a vintage item, and the leather retains its luster.

Additionally, while the padding has deteriorated, giving the bag a slightly spongy feel overall, this does not affect its appearance and does not pose any issues for use.

• Corner scuffs: Present, but not particularly noticeable.

• Interior: Shows some wear and tear from use.
