Chanel Medium Chocolate Bar East-West flap

This Chanel flap bag that features the “Mademoiselle” lock was introduced as a seasonal variant under Karl Lagerfeld in 2001, predating the 2005 Reissue. It is a beautiful and uncommon Chanel classic, very eye-catching and goes with everything.
Black and cream contrast stitching and golden hardware.
The bag is in excellent vintage condition, with exception of the woven leather chain strap where paint has flaked off and needs to be repainted (known common issue with these types of Chanel chain straps). Feel free to ask me questions or close-ups so you know with certainty what you are buying. I bought the bag on an auction with The Brand Collector and have an invoice available.
