Chanel Emerald Green Crocodile Clutch — Vintage Series 4 (1996–1997)
Rare vintage Chanel clutch crafted in rich emerald green crocodile leather, featuring 24k gold-plated hardware and the classic CC turnlock closure. This piece sits in a unique category—larger than a wallet but more compact than a traditional clutch—making it highly versatile for both handheld styling and functional use.
The crocodile skin displays a strong, symmetrical scale pattern with a high-gloss finish that reflects light beautifully, giving the piece a striking presence without being overstated. The interior is thoughtfully constructed with multiple compartments and a zip pocket, maintaining both practicality and structure.
Condition is very well maintained for its age. Upon close inspection, there are minor signs of wear consistent with vintage crocodile—subtle edge wear and light marks—but nothing that detracts from the overall presentation. The piece remains clean, structured, and highly presentable.
Emerald green crocodile from this era is exceptionally difficult to source, especially in this format and condition. This is a true collector-grade Chanel piece with strong rarity and long-term desirability.
