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 a Chanel Wallet on Chain? A: Despite its slim profile, it comfortably carries a smartphone, keys, a lipstick and a few small essentials. The built-in card slots mean you can leave a separate wallet at home to free up space. Larger phones (such as Pro Max models) may fit best without a bulky case or placed slightly on the diagonal. For this piece, refer to the Measurements on this page: 19 × 12.5 × 3 cm.
Q: Is the chain long enough for crossbody wear? A: Yes. This piece has an approximate strap drop of 62 cm. Chanel WOCs typically have around a 24 in (about 61–62 cm) drop and a total chain length near 130 cm, which suits most heights for crossbody wear. You can also double or triple the chain inside to shorten it for shoulder or handheld carry.
Q: Is the chain removable or adjustable? A: On the classic WOC the chain is fixed/non‑removable. To shorten the drop, loop the chain inside under the flap; you can also tuck the chain in completely to carry it as a clutch.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The classic WOC layout includes 6 card slots, a full‑length slip compartment, an internal zip pocket and an additional zipped section, plus a practical back slip pocket. This piece features the signature burgundy lining with built‑in card slots and a zip pocket for small valuables.
Q: What are the standard dimensions for a Chanel WOC? A: Classic WOCs are approximately 19.2 × 12.3 × 3.5 cm. This specific piece measures 19 × 12.5 × 3 cm. Small variances can occur between seasons and materials.
Q: How durable is caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Chanel’s grained caviar calfskin is valued for its structure and scratch resistance, making it a great choice for frequent wear. Care tips: avoid overfilling, minimise light/dark colour transfer, keep away from heat and humidity, and store with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints. Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth and store in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: What does the serial number 14****** indicate? A: The 14‑series serial places this piece in the 2010–2011 production window, consistent with our product details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Delivered with its serial number tag. Everything included is listed under the product information on this page; if an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps, supported by a well‑established third‑party authentication tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Where was this Chanel WOC made, and does the location affect quality? A: This piece was made in France. Chanel produces WOCs in both France and Italy; both are authentic and crafted to the house’s standards, so the country stamp does not imply a quality difference.
