Original release date: created by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983.

Recognizable features: the chain intertwined chain with leather, the double C lock and the double flaps.

Less valuable hardware: since 2008, Chanel no longer uses 24 carats gold plated for their metallic pieces but a gold and silver alloy instead.

Material warning: canva and Fabric tend to be more fragile than leather and tweed. Hence,

Least expansive classic flaps: canva and fabric Timeless are the least expansive Timeless bags.

Lesser investment: due to their fragility and because they are less iconic, they might not constitue the best investment.

Rare: however, the Chanel monogram brings originality and increase the value. This bag is also quite rare to find.

Single or double flap ? I believe this version only comes with a single flap.

Overall, if you don't want leather, go for tweed instead.
