CHANEL · 2004 Collector’s Vinyl Record Clutch Bag
Karl Lagerfeld Era · Rare Archival Novelty Bag — Super-Rare Collectible ·

// One of the most playful and instantly recognisable accessories of early-2000s Chanel //

A handbag disguised as a record — or perhaps a record that accidentally wandered into a Chanel boutique.

This ultra-rare 2004 collector’s piece captures Lagerfeld at his most mischievous: taking something utterly familiar, enlarging the joke just enough, then finishing it with the seriousness of luxury craftsmanship

MATERIAL POETRY

• Crafted in high-gloss black patent leather, giving the surface the polished shine of an actual vinyl record

• Fine concentric stitching recreates the grooves of a record with remarkable precision

• The glossy black body is interrupted by a vivid red central label, creating the unmistakable visual code of a classic LP

• The rigid circular construction preserves the graphic purity of the design

HOUSE CODES

• The centre label is printed with CHANEL, RUE CAMBON PARIS and Side A, turning the record motif into a witty piece of House mythology

• The shoulder chain combines gold-tone metal with black leather interlacing, bringing the familiar Chanel chain vocabulary into the object

• A discreet perimeter zipper keeps the silhouette clean and fully circular

From a distance, it looks almost like an oversized vinyl record.
Closer in, the construction gives the game away: patent leather, precision stitching, Chanel typography and chain hardware transform pop imagery into a highly collectible fashion object.
