Vintage Sports Line Barrel Bag — Black Patina

A vintage Chanel from the Sports Line — the small barrel, or bowling, shape in coated leather that has weathered into a mottled black-and-bronze patina. The finish is the whole point of this piece: no two are worn the same way, and the seller notes the colour may keep shifting with age. Round mesh end panels, a top zip under a CHANEL jacquard band, and a woven CHANEL webbing strap on matte black buckles, adjustable to sit on the shoulder or across the body. Hardware, zip, mesh and lining are all sound. An archive sports piece rather than a dress bag — it reads casual, and it wears its age on purpose.
