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 Camellia Wallet on Chain? A: With approximate dimensions of 19 × 12.5 × 3.5 cm, it’s designed for essentials: a large smartphone, keys, a slim lipstick/compact, folded notes and coins, and cards in the built‑in slots. A passport fits without a bulky cover. Continental (long) wallets, thick sunglasses cases and water bottles do not fit comfortably.
Q: Will it fit a Pro/Max‑size smartphone with a case? A: Yes, most Pro/Max phones fit; a very thick or rugged case can make the fit snug. For the neatest closure, place the phone flat and avoid overfilling other compartments.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody, and is the chain adjustable or removable? A: The interwoven chain‑and‑leather strap on this piece has an approximate 63 cm drop, allowing crossbody or shoulder carry. The chain is typically non‑adjustable and non‑removable; you can shorten the drop temporarily by looping the chain inside or tuck it in to carry the bag as a clutch.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: Wallet on Chain models use a snap or magnetic flap closure depending on era. Inside, you’ll usually find six card slots, a zipped pocket, slip pockets and a main compartment, plus a handy exterior back slip pocket for low‑profile items like travel cards or receipts.
Q: What does “Camellia” refer to on this model? A: It denotes Chanel’s signature camellia flower motif embossed across the leather, giving a feminine, textured finish with a refined sheen in this burgundy colourway.
Q: How should I care for the burgundy leather and prevent chain imprints? A: Keep the bag away from moisture and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag. To reduce chain marks, place a soft felt or cloth between the chain and the leather when storing, or tuck the chain inside the bag with protective padding.
Q: Does this piece have enough space for a separate wallet? A: The WOC is designed to replace a wallet with its integrated card slots and zip pockets. A slim cardholder fits; full‑length continental wallets are generally too long or bulky for comfortable closure.
Q: When was this specific bag produced and where was it made? A: The serial number 16316293 (16‑series) dates it to approximately 2012–2013. This piece is labelled Made in Italy.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: For this listing we include the serial number tag. If an accessory (e.g., box, dust bag, authenticity card) isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How is authenticity guaranteed, and can Chanel service it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and the serial sticker format for its era. Chanel boutiques offer care and repair services subject to assessment and parts availability; reputable independent leather specialists can also provide cleaning and restoration if needed.
