–SPECIAL–"CHANEL" 08-09’s Satin quilted bow shoulder bag

Starting from Coco Chanel's pursuit of practicality and elegance, during Karl Lagerfeld's era, CHANEL continued to update these codes through form and humor while preserving their essence. We present an exquisite piece that elevates the brand's symbol into the very structure itself.

This masterpiece is designed to establish a bag with the form of a giant ribbon.

The value of this piece lies not just in the cute ribbon motif but in how CHANEL has re-edited its iconic symbols—quilted pattern, 2.55 lock, chain strap—not as mere decoration but as a logic of construction.

The main body is made of black satin, a material with a unique luster that cannot be definitively classified as matte or glossy. When light hits it, shadows and highlights emerge as a surface, making the ribbon's drape appear not just soft but sculptural, creating a three-dimensional effect. Overlaying quilting stitches blend the fluidity of satin with the discipline of matelassé, and the tension between material and code directly translates into a compelling design.

The central flap is positioned reminiscent of a ribbon knot, and by placing Madmoiselle Rock at the focal point where the eye naturally gathers, it reliably brings the motif back to CHANEL's classic style, even when it tends to lean towards a delicate charm. Moreover, the engraved mark on the rock base adds a level of craftsmanship that becomes apparent only at close range, making it a detail that directly enhances the ownership experience beyond what photos can convey.

Regarding the chain, it is reconstructed with a flat link appearance rather than the usual rounded chain, giving a strong impression. When worn on the shoulder, the line flows smoothly, preventing the upper body from appearing elongated despite the ribbon's volume, thus maintaining overall balance. Additionally, the chain functions not just as hardware but also as a jewelry-like element that catches light, leaving a luxurious impression even from the back view.

From the perspective of added value, this item is significantly positioned within the limited edition lineage known as the ribbon bag or butterfly bag. While using the vocabulary of CHANEL's classic 2.55, it also vividly reflects a reinterpretation typical of the Lagerfeld era, transforming the structure into a playful form. Unlike reproductions of classics or different materials, the collection piece's philosophy can be directly incorporated into everyday life, which makes this bag particularly special.

Furthermore, the fact that the boutique seal bears a clear date of 08.3.29 strongly supports the authenticity of the era, as it provides physical evidence to pinpoint the purchase time. This makes it a reliable individual in a market where the provenance as an archive can often be ambiguous. The notation of CHANEL and MADE IN ITALY on the internal leather tag also ensures information consistency, which is reassuring.

Styling-wise, creating straight lines with tailored jackets or neat coats, and then inserting the curves of ribbons for a modern look, while pairing with minimalist shirts and slacks, makes the bag's information stand out without losing elegance. Even when combined with soft items like knits or dresses, adding well-shaped bottoms and clean leather accessories results in a genderless, sophisticated balance.

For those who want to own not just a satisfaction of owning a classic, but to own the moment when CHANEL's code was updated, this is a masterpiece that strongly resonates with meaningful intent.

Definitely take this opportunity.
