The Archive
A quintessential collector's Chanel, the Medallion Tote represents one of the house's most recognizable everyday silhouettes from the late Karl Lagerfeld era. Crafted in durable black caviar leather with oversized diamond quilting and the iconic oversized CC logo stitched across the front, this tote was designed for women who wanted the elegance of Chanel with true daily practicality. The signature gold-tone CC medallion charm adds a distinctly vintage touch that collectors continue to seek today.
Produced in the late 1990s to early 2000s, the Medallion Tote has become increasingly difficult to source in strong condition, particularly in black caviar leather. With its structured shape, generous interior, and timeless aesthetic, it remains one of the most wearable vintage Chanel totes ever created.

If you're searching for a vintage Chanel that can truly be carried every day, the Medallion Tote deserves consideration before many of the newer tote releases. The caviar leather offers durability that collectors appreciate, while the oversized CC logo delivers unmistakable Chanel heritage without relying on seasonal trends.
What makes this piece particularly appealing is its balance between practicality and collectibility. It comfortably accommodates daily essentials, maintains a structured silhouette, and continues to be one of the most recognizable vintage Chanel totes ever produced. For collectors building a wearable Chanel archive, the Medallion Tote remains one of the strongest vintage entries into the house.

"Item came in brand new condition. Seller even provided a slip to get the front pocket repaired. Hoping my Louis Vuitton location will honor it so I can get rid of the defect from
the canvas and alcantara lining. Item came with full inclusions. Very happy!"
