Key Features
Rope drawstring handles, repeating CC and Chanel text logo, silver metal grommets, and lightweight synthetic material.
Material & Construction
Synthetic nylon or polyester blend, machine-stitched with canvas rope drawstrings and silver-tone metal grommets.

White base with black 'CHANEL' text and 'CC' interlocking logo repeat pattern; seasonal promotional print.
Hardware Details
Silver-tone metal eyelets/grommets, unbranded and simple in construction compared to retail luxury hardware.

Closure Type
Drawstring cinch closure utilizing a thick cotton cord/rope.
Strap & Handle Details
Double rope shoulder straps that function as the drawstring closure mechanism.
Craftsmanship Details
Mass-market production standards; machine lock-stitches, raw interior edges, and standard industrial hardware.
Authentication Indicators
Alignment of the 'CHANEL' text and 'CC' logo; thickness of the rope; quality of the grommet punching. Significant note: This is a GWP (Gift With Purchase) item, so it lacks the serial stickers, authenticity cards, and 'Made in Italy/France' leather heat stamps found on retail boutique handbags.
Origin & Manufacturing
Made in China; mass-produced for the fragrance or beauty division rather than the luxury leather goods ateliers in France/Italy.
Era & Period
Contemporary (circa 2010s-2020s) Logomania trend within the promotional gift market.
Age Estimate
Circa 2015-2022 based on the specific font weighting and logo distribution.
Cultural Significance
Represents the 'entry-level' prestige market where logo-driven accessories allow consumers to participate in brand identity without the four-figure investment of leather goods.
Condition Notes
Good; showing some creasing to the nylon. No visible stains or fraying on the rope, though white nylon is prone to yellowing over time.
Value Estimate
$50 - $150 USD on the secondary market depending on condition and demand.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash with mild detergent; air dry only. Avoid high heat as synthetic fibers can melt. Store stuffed to maintain shape as nylon creases easily.
