Patent Quilted Tassel Camera Case Black

The Chanel Patent Quilted Tassel Camera Case in Black is a vintage-inspired, highly functional crossbody bag that balances the brand’s classic elegance with the playful texture of patent leather. Often associated with the 1990s aesthetic, this camera-style bag remains a favorite for collectors due to its spacious rectangular interior and distinctive swinging tassel detail.

Core Design & Material

Material: Constructed from high-gloss black patent calfskin leather, which provides a mirror-like finish and greater resistance to minor spills and scratches compared to standard lambskin.
Quilting: Features the signature diamond-quilted pattern on the front and back panels, with smooth patent leather usually finishing the sides and base.
Hardware: Typically accented with polished gold-tone metal, including a prominent stitched or metal CC logo on the front exterior pocket.
The Tassel: Adorned with a large leather tassel charm attached to the zipper pull, often capped with a gold-tone CC decorative bead.
