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 CC French Riviera Caviar Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 30 x 18 x 8 cm, it generally fits everyday essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a passport and a few small cosmetics. It is best for day-to-evening use rather than bulkier items like a tablet, laptop or large water bottle. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: This style features chain-link and leather straps and is best suited to shoulder carry. With a listed strap measurement of 45 cm and handle measurement of 25 cm, it sits comfortably as a shoulder bag for most users rather than a true crossbody style.
Q: What is inside the bag? A: The interior is lined in burgundy fabric and includes an internal zip pocket, which is useful for smaller valuables such as cards, keys or lipstick.
Q: Is the caviar leather durable? A: Yes. Chanel caviar leather, commonly described as grained calfskin, is popular because its textured finish is generally more resistant to visible scratches and everyday wear than smoother leathers. It still benefits from careful handling, especially around corners and contact points.
Q: Does the French Riviera caviar feel the same as Classic Flap caviar? A: It is still caviar leather, but owners often note that the finish and quilting can feel a little less puffy than some Classic Flap versions. That gives the bag a slightly more structured, practical look while still keeping the signature Chanel feel.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: Avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and dark fabrics that may transfer colour, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth when needed. For storage, keep it upright in its dust bag and lightly stuff it with tissue to help maintain the shape. It is also a good idea to keep chains wrapped so they do not mark the leather.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: This bag has a 15-series serial number, which places it in Chanel's early-2010s production era, and this piece is listed as 2011. Bags from this period were typically issued with a serial sticker and a matching authenticity card.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: This piece includes a dust bag, authenticity card and serial number, as listed in the product information.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: It is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior shows wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches from normal wear.
