A miniature take on Chanel's vintage vanity cases, this Square Vanity Box compresses the house's diamond quilting into a compact, boxy silhouette designed to be carried by hand. Dating to the 3-series (1994-1996), it opens to reveal a fitted mirror set into the lid, a practical detail that marks it out as a genuine dressing-table accessory reimagined as a bag.
Crafted in black ponyhair with leather trim, the box closes via a gold-tone twist-lock CC at the front strap and is finished with a woven chain-and-ponyhair top handle. It measures 11.4cm in width, 8.9cm in height and 10.2cm in depth (4.5in x 3.5in x 4in), with a top handle drop of 3.8cm (1.5in). The interior is lined in black leather with a fitted mirror to the lid.
According to the supplied product information, this vintage piece is in excellent to mint condition: the box retains its shape and the exterior pony hair is clean overall, with only minor rubbing to the back corner of the lid and one bottom corner; there is no plastic on the hardware, though the top handle hardware shows discolouration in one area, and the interior leather has some discolouration and a few faint scratches to the base. The date stamp sticker remains legible. It is accompanied by a Chanel dustbag, a rare and playful piece of Chanel's 1990s accessory archive.
