Vintage Chanel
Remember i wanted to post pictures of the chanel bag my mom gave to me some time back - well i never really got around to it... Ok fine i admit, i forgot! But last night as i was browsing the chanel forum on TPF (i really need to stop doing that and start studying!) i found two other girls with the same bag and it reminded me!
It's actually the Jumbo vintage flap in black lambskin, and according to my mom she got it circa the early '90s which is so exciting because i was only around 5 or 6 years old at the time and to be using something that has been passed down from one generation to another is just so nostalgic. Maybe if i don't batter the bag too much i can hand it down to my daughter in the future, awww :):)
The main difference between them and the newer bags are that the vintage bags are much sturdier. They don't have any slouch at all and it can easily stand on its own. The straps are definitely longer, even on me and i'm already so tall! The double C's are also bigger and flattened, if that makes any sense? You can see in the pictures what i'm talking about lol. There's also a small engraving at the corner of the double C's.
Anyways enough blabber on to visuals! I've also included the pictures that i found on TPF - user calisnoopy has a really cool collection - she has F I V E vintage flaps can you imagine! I'm super envious. The white is from user expat and hers is so unique!
Please excuse my fugly mug lol! There weren't any other pics of me with the bag so i had to use these >_<
(And Lyn is wearing a LAMB by Le Sportsac 1st season hella hobo with the guitar straps, gorrrrgeoussss <33)
And the ones from TPF:
Aren't they gorgeous!!! We have the same in black lambskin. I wouldn't mind that pink jumbo at all, thanks! ;)
