COLORED CHANEL BAGS ARE ALWAYS VERY COLLECTABLE AND GENERALLY MORE RARE BECAUSE CHANEL IS VERY SEASONAL WITH COLOR CHOICES AND THEY ARE HARDLY EVER REPEATED. ANYTHING THAT IS NOT BLACK OR CREAM IS RARE AND VERY DESIRED.BLACK USED ON VINTAGE BAGS IS A MUCH SOFTER BLACK THAN THE NEW BAGS. THEY PICK UP BOTH BLACK AND NAVY TONES CAUSED BY THE NATURAL, BERRY-BASED DYE USED ON THE LAMBSKIN AT THE TIME.ITALIAN MADE CHANEL USUALLY MEANS IT IS A PRE-1985 CHANEL BUT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE, AS CHANEL TODAY PRODUCES AND SOURCES ITALIAN LEATHER DEPENDING ON THE STYLE OF THE BAG. LOOK AT DESIGN DETAILS (HARDWARE, LABEL, TASSEL, ETC.) TO CORRECTLY DATE. HARDWARE WITHOUT A MARK INDICATES ITALIAN PRODUCTION, WHILE HARDWARE WITH A MARK DENOTES MADE IN FRANCE.
