Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Cambon Bowler Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 29 × 14 × 10 cm, it is best suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. The bowler shape makes the interior feel practical without being bulky.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes, the approx. 25 cm drop usually allows for short shoulder carry as well as hand or crook-of-arm carry. The exact fit will depend on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: What makes the Cambon line so recognisable? A: The Cambon line is loved for its quilted leather, oversized interlocking CC logo, silver-tone hardware and bold contrasting interiors. This piece combines black quilted leather with a striking red canvas lining for a classic early-2000s Chanel look.
Q: Does the Cambon Bowler offer good organisation? A: Cambon Bowler bags are known for practical interiors and often include small organising compartments in addition to the main section. As vintage Chanel interiors can vary slightly, we recommend checking the photos and measurements on this page for the best view of this exact item.
Q: What condition should I expect from this specific bag? A: This item is in good vintage condition. The exterior shows rubbing on the corners, with scuffs and scratches mainly on the straps. Inside, there is staining and a mark where the serial number used to be. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Is it a concern that the serial number sticker is no longer present? A: Not necessarily. On older Chanel bags, serial stickers can fade, peel or be lost over time. While collectors often prefer them to be intact, authenticity should always be judged by the bag as a whole, including construction, materials, hardware and overall craftsmanship.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: No additional product information is listed for this item. If something such as an authenticity card, box or dust bag is not shown in the product information, it is best to assume it is not included.
Q: Is the Chanel Cambon Bowler considered a vintage style? A: Yes, this is a vintage Chanel design from the sought-after Cambon family, known for its logo-led aesthetic and practical day-bag shapes. It is a popular choice for collectors who enjoy distinctive Chanel styles from the early 2000s era.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth after use. For storage, keep it lightly stuffed with tissue and placed upright in a breathable pouch or dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using a multi-point review of materials, stitching, hardware, branding details and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
