Created for Chanel's Paris-Shanghai Metiers d'Art collection, this Medium Reissue 226 2.55 Double Flap Bag reworks the archival 2.55 silhouette with sculptural antique gold corner plates and a distinctive engraved bar closure, in place of the signature Mademoiselle turn-lock.
Crafted in gold glazed tweed with antique gold-tone hardware, the bag closes through its bar-and-hinge clasp and opens to a fabric-lined interior. It measures approximately 27.9 cm wide x 19.1 cm high x 8.3 cm deep (11.00" x 7.50" x 3.25"), with a chain strap drop of approximately 45.7 cm (18.00"), doubled to approximately 25.4 cm (10.00"). Composition: glazed tweed with antique gold-tone hardware.
According to the supplied product information, this bag is pre-owned in excellent condition. It retains its shape structure; there is no plastic on the hardware, resulting in moderate scratching and tarnishing, and the exterior fabric is clean aside from a couple of loose threads on the side, while the interior fabric shows some light marks to the front flap but is otherwise clean. It comes accompanied by its MAC dustbag and COA card - a directional Metiers d'Art piece for collectors of Chanel's archival design, offered at FairLuxo.
