Description:

The vintage Diana bag is a symbol of refined elegance, merging timeless craftsmanship with the royal influence of Princess Diana, together with a simpler design, the minimalist appearance of the purse, making it highly desirable among vintage Chanel collectors. The Diana bag can be worn in multiple ways - on the shoulder, cross-body, or with help with a chain adjuster clasp, it can be styled into a handheld evening purse. It is known for its soft, rounded edges and elegant design, making it a more feminine, less structured alternative to the Chanel classic flap bags. 

Since the interior pockets do not provide much room to store items larger than some papers or receipts, a purse organizer is recommended as a practical and functional accessory designed to help keep your handbag tidy, accessible, and well-organized. By using an organizer, you can also prevent the purse from getting scratched, dirty, or deformed. It helps keep the interior lining of the purse in good condition, especially since it's made of delicate lambskin. I like purse organizers that are made out of satin instead of felt. While felt is a more sturdy material, it is definitely feels less luxurious than smooth materials such as satin. I highly recommend this satin purse organizer for any Chanel flap bags including this vintage Diana.

Depending on how you are wearing this purse and/or where it lands on your body, you may want to shorten the chain length by using a simple chain adjuster to modify it to your liking. This is a great one as it is small, easy to use and secure.

The vintage Chanel purses are generally made with higher quality leather hence they are more durable in general despite the age. To preserve and protect them further, use a satin dust bag, an insert pillow, and a chain protector wrap when the purses are not in use to prolong the overall life of the beloved bags.
