Chanel Wood Vanity Box Bag Brown Wood Black Leather Silver-Tone Hardware
Chanel Wood Vanity Box Bag Brown Wood Black Leather Silver-Tone Hardware
Chanel vanity box bag in slatted brown wood with black leather trim and silver-tone hardware. A hard-sided rectangular trunk format constructed entirely from polished horizontal wood slats, joined at the edges with black leather binding and silver stud detailing. One face carries the full "CHANEL" lettering in black leather appliqué. The reverse displays the interlocking CC logo in the same treatment. Rigid wood top handle. Top clasp closure with silver-tone latch. The piece reads as a decorative object that happens to function as a bag, closer to a cigar humidor or jewelry case than a conventional handbag.
Circa mid-1990s production under Karl Lagerfeld. Wood vanity pieces appeared in a small number of Lagerfeld-era collections during this period, when Chanel was experimenting with non-traditional materials including resin, acrylic, and wood. Interior is leather-lined. The wood shows the warm honey-brown patina consistent with aged natural wood, and the grain is visible through the lacquer finish.

Collector's Insight: Chanel's wood pieces from the Lagerfeld era are among the more unusual collectibles the house has produced. They were not part of a named collection or ongoing product line; they appeared briefly in limited quantities and were never repeated. The construction is fundamentally different from any leather bag. Wood does not flex, stretch, or mold to contents. It either survives intact or it doesn't, which makes condition 3 on a 30-year-old wood piece a meaningful indicator of how it was stored. The dual branding, "CHANEL" spelled out on one face and the CC logo on the reverse, is unusual; most Chanel bags carry one or the other.
Resale Insight: Vintage Chanel novelty pieces from the 1990s Lagerfeld era have become a dedicated collector category. Wood, resin, and other non-leather materials from this period trade on scarcity and visual impact rather than utility. This piece surfaces rarely on the secondary market, and when it does, condition is the primary variable. The trunk format and dual logo treatment give it strong display value.

JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain is hand-knotted from up to 60 varieties of natural semi-precious stones strung between lobster-clasp hardware at each end. The clasp configuration attaches directly to the sangle hardware of Hermès bags and converts the bag to crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain also functions independently as a long necklace without a bag attached.
Documented stone varieties include amethyst, apatite, carnelian, citrine, emerald, labradorite, lemon quartz, peach moonstone, peridot, Peruvian opal, pink moonstone, prehnite, rose quartz, ruby, sunstone, and tourmaline. Each stone is individually hand-knotted between adjacent stones, securing the strand against bead loss in the event of any single break. Stones are sorted into four documented colorways: Rainbow, Natural, Turquoise, and Malachite. Exact stone composition within each colorway varies by piece due to the natural variation of the source materials.
Standard length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a crossbody drop appropriate for Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller, including the Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18 and 24, and Birkin 25. The chain can be doubled to produce a shorter shoulder drop or wrist-wrap carry, and worn as a standalone necklace at full length. Hardware (Gold or Palladium clasp) is selected at order.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
Material: Semi-Precious Stones, Hand-Knotted
Hardware: Gold or Palladium clasp (selected at order)
Colorways: Rainbow / Natural / Turquoise / Malachite
Recommended For: Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller (Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18, Constance 24, Birkin 25)
Production: Hand-knotted, 7-10 business days
Note: Each chain is unique. Stones fall within the selected colorway range; exact composition varies by piece.
Styling Notes:
The chain pairs with the full JaneFinds accessory chain collection for coordinated multi-chain layering. Standard wear is single-strand crossbody; doubling produces a shorter shoulder carry. The lobster-clasp configuration matches Hermès sangle hardware proportions and does not require additional adapters.

JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain converts top-handle carry of Hermès Kelly and Mini Kelly bags into crossbody or shoulder wear without altering the bag. Cuban link is a flat, twist-pattern chain construction: each link rotates 90 degrees relative to its neighbors and interlocks tightly, producing a chain that lays flush against the body rather than twisting or rolling at the strap line. The pattern is the standard reference for flat-laying chainwork and remains the most stable shoulder-strap chain construction for weighted top-handle bags.
Hardware finish is offered in Gold or Palladium to match Hermès hardware on the carrying bag. Each chain terminates in a lobster clasp at one end and a spring ring at the other, attaching directly to the Kelly's sangle D-rings without adapters. Two clip sizes are offered: Standard Clip for Kelly 25, 28, 32, and 35; Small Clip for Mini Kelly 20 II, Vintage Mini Kelly, and Mini Bolide. Link gauge is selected as Wide or Narrow at order; Wide produces a heavier, more visually present chain, Narrow a finer line.
Standard chain length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a standard crossbody drop for most Kelly sizes. The chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or worn standalone as a necklace. Pairs with the JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain and other accessory chain collection pieces for layered styling.
