Introduced by Gabrielle Chanel to guarantee the quality and durability of leather bags, diamond quilting has become one of Chanel’s signatures. That, combined with the iconic interlocking CC logo, results in this bifold long wallet. Chanel’s Caviar leather is essentially pebbled calfskin – “caviar” is just a chic namesake that Chanel uses. The visible grains on the leather make it sturdy and heavier than Lambskin. It is also less prone to scratches and blemishes than Lambskin.
About Chanel Bags*
The House of Chanel (Chanel S.A.) originated in 1909, when Gabrielle Chanel opened a millinery shop at 160 Boulevard Malesherbes, the ground floor of the Parisian flat of the socialite and textile businessman Étienne Balsan, of whom she was mistress.
The House of Chanel also presented leather handbags with either gold-colour chains or metal-and-leather chains, which allowed carrying the handbag from the shoulder or in hand. The quilted-leather handbag was presented to the public in February 1955. In-house, the numeric version of the launching date “2.55” for that line of handbags became the internal “appellation” for that model of quilted-leather handbag. Perfect for everyday wear, Caviar is known for its practicality. In addition, it is relatively easier to maintain.
Beginning in the 1990s, all authentic Chanel handbags were numbered.
