Once a glorified bag, worshipped by fashionista’s around the world, the Chanel Cambon Bag now only lives in our memory. The Cambon Tote wasn’t perfect, but it was considered a ‘Classic Bag’ back then.

This Chanel Bag style has been discontinued around 2012, so you won’t find a new one in store. It should be categorized as a vintage bag and definitely a collector’s item if you are a long-time fan of brand.

The main details are the diamond quilting body, the smooth leather pad on the lower right while it’s embossed with a large Timeless CC logo on the left side of the bag. The handles are refined with a knot while the back comes with the iconic back pocket, just like on the Classic Flap Bag and the Reissue Bag.

If you notice the handle, it’s really rope-like and very flexible. While it’s made from leather, it’s very strong and can be used to carry by hand or on the shoulder. The interior matches with the idea of the founder Gabrielle Chanel as it’s crafted in burgundy red. The inside comes with a zip pocket as well. The name name ‘Cambon’ is inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s iconic store in Paris – 31 Rue Cambon.

For those looking for this bag, we have some guidelines you can use.

First of all, the large size is measured 15 x 24 x 30 (D x H x W) cm, the latest price we found was €1770 euro or $3260 SGD.

Imagine buying a nice tote bag for that price. Nowadays it’s not possible anymore. And the prices of the Chanel Vintage Bags also go up. This Large Cambon Bag for example is now retailing for around €2600 euro pre-owned with good condition. Imagine how good Chanel Bags are as an investment.
