Lambskin Quilted Tassel Camera Case Black

The Chanel Lambskin Quilted Tassel Camera Case in black is a quintessential vintage “holy grail” that gained prominence in the 1980s and 1990s. Inspired by the functional cases used by photographers and reporters, this model is prized for its spacious boxy silhouette and signature decorative tassel pull.

Core Design & Material

Material: Crafted from premium black quilted lambskin leather, often featuring either a diamond or chevron pattern.
Tassel Zipper Pull: The standout feature is a decorative leather tassel attached to the top zipper, often capped with a gold-tone CC-logo knob.
Signature Hardware: Typically features 24k gold-plated metal hardware (in vintage pre-2008 models), including a leather-interwoven gold chain strap.
Branding: Most iterations showcase a prominent embroidered or embossed CC logo on the front of the bag.

Specifications & Utility

Dimensions: Variations exist, but a common “Large” vintage model measures approximately 11″ W x 8″ H x 3.5″ D. Smaller “Mini” versions typically measure around 7″–7.5″ L x 5″ H x 2.5″ W.
Internal Organization: The interior is lined in tonal black leather and usually includes one main compartment and an internal zippered pocket with a logo pull.
Exterior Features: Many vintage camera bags include a front flap pocket with a snap closure or an open rear slip pocket for easy-access items like receipts.
Carry Style: While designed as a shoulder bag, the chain strap drop (typically 18″ to 20″) allows it to be worn as a high crossbody by some users.
