A ‘Must-Have’ RARE collectible, stunning elegant and timeless Chanel Diana Iconic handbag for your wardrobe collection!

The Story Behind: The Diana single flap bag was designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1989 and was produced in the early 1990s for a few years until 1995. At the stage this bag was not named DIANA. The original bag from 1990-1995 was made mostly in classic luxurious diamond quilted lambskin leather with 24k gold plated hardware and CC logo twist-lock, 25 cm size, red burgundy lining with Chanel stamped in 24k gold plated and was Made in France. The vintage Diana bags (1990-1995) looks like the Timeless Classic 25.5 cm bag. The difference is the leather band that runs on both sides of the bag and the rounded bottom.

In 1996, a year before Princess Diana’s untimely death, she was often photographed carrying the black leather bag and the fashion world went into a frenzy! Photos of Lady Diana attached carrying the Chanel “Diana” vintage bag – Copyright Getty images. Princess Lady Diana popularised the bag which she frequently carried during her charity events. Chanel House and more specifically Karl Lagerfeld decided to rename the handbag in her honour and pay tribute to Princess Diana by renaming the Chanel bag “DIANA” in 2015. The reissue released under “Diana” became a classic at Chanel and as such the Chanel Diana bag reissue was released season after season in various colours, skin types, a slight hardware makeover, as well as a leather section was added to the strap for easier carrying.

The 2015 reissue is available in both lambskins, but it was also produced in rarer leathers including calfskin… Other extra-rare materials such as natural nubuck, canvas, shiny patent leather and luxury satin, caviar and jersey fabric prevailed, emphasising the Diana flap’s relevance in a new era. The Diana Bag Reissue series are now often Made in Italy.
