Chanel Vintage Black Quilted Leather Double CC Turn Lock Briefcase Bag

The Archive 

This vintage Chanel brings together diamond quilting, a compact rectangular silhouette and a distinctive pair of gold-tone CC turnlocks. The black leather body is finished with a slim top handle and a leather-interwoven chain strap, offering both handheld and shoulder carry. At 9 inches long with a slim 1.75-inch depth, its proportions give it the polished presence of a small vintage lady bag.

The defining feature is its pair of polished gold-tone interlocking CC turnlocks positioned symmetrically across the front flap. This unusual double-closure arrangement gives the bag a jewelry-like presence while preserving the architectural simplicity associated with vintage Chanel. The contrast between the softly aged black leather, precise diamond stitching and bright gold-tone hardware creates a particularly compelling expression of the house's recognizable design language.

Curators Perspective 

What makes this Chanel especially rare is the double CC turn lock arrangement. Rather than relying on the single central clasp most closely associated with the house's classic flap bags, this design places two interlocking CC emblems across the front, creating a balanced, almost ornamental composition that feels distinctly archival.

The combination of a structured top-handle silhouette and a long leather-interwoven chain adds another layer of versatility. It has the polished presence of a vintage lady bag when carried by hand, but the longer chain gives it a more relaxed, contemporary attitude. The softly aged black leather and substantial gold-tone hardware make it particularly appealing to collectors drawn to less conventional interpretations of Chanel's most recognizable design elements.
