The story behind the Vanity Case
Karl Lagerfeld's version of the travel cosmetic case, first made by Chanel in the early 1990s: a structured, boxy quilted case with a zip that runs all the way around and a short top handle. Later versions add a chain shoulder strap.
Discover ChanelOne face carries CHANEL in black leather appliqué, and the reverse the interlocking CC.
A rigid wood top handle and a silver-tone latch complete it, and the piece reads as a decorative object that happens to work as a bag.
Collector's Insight:
Chanel's wood pieces from the Lagerfeld era appeared briefly and were not repeated, and their construction has little in common with a leather bag.
Resale Insight:
Buyers check the wood for scratches, dents and splits, the leather binding for lifting at the corners, and the latch for alignment.
