Chanel Diana Bags
11 products
Original Chanel Diana bags are among the most coveted vintage handbags in history. Designed by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, the bags were produced from 1989 to 1995. Lagerfeld drew inspiration from the most fashionable women in the world. In the ‘80s and ‘90s, no one’s star shone brighter than that of Diana, Princess of Wales.
With Princess Diana as his muse, Lagerfeld created a chic bag beloved by stylish women around the world. The Chanel Diana bag reflects the lines of the Chanel classic flap bags but remains an original. The iconic diamond-pattern quilting is framed by a prominent border of smooth leather, utterly striking in a contrasting color. Leather and chain are woven together to create a unique strap that is long enough to wear crossbody style. The interlaced, double CC Chanel logo gleams like fine jewelry. And the gentle curve of the bag’s flap echoes the princess’s shy, demure smile.
Chanel Diana Flap Bags for Sale
Princess Diana loved the Chanel bag named for her and wore it frequently. Fans of The Crown and Spencer have long sought their own Chanel Diana Flap bag, but the style was discontinued in 1995. A reissue in 2015, though welcomed, did not dim the demand for the vintage Chanel bags. The Diana bags were produced primarily in buttery smooth lambskin. However, a vintage Chanel Diana bag in caviar leather is considered the most highly prized and coveted variation ever crafted.
The Chanel Diana Flap bag comes in just two sizes, small and medium. The small measures 8.5” x 6“ x 3”. The medium is 9.5” x 6” x 3”. Both sizes have a 21” handle drop and contain an interior slip pocket and a zippered pocket.
