Vintage Chanel CC Fringe Messenger Bag - 2260001706815
A stylish companion for weekend city strolls and relaxed evenings, this vintage Chanel messenger brings effortless, bohemian polish to your look. Perfect for music festivals, brunch dates or autumn getaways, it transitions seamlessly from casual denim to a chic night out.
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 this Chanel CC Fringe Messenger Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 23 × 9.5 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics pouch, passport, and an 11-inch tablet. A 13-inch laptop is generally too large for this model. Capacity varies by organiser or pouches used—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The single flat strap has an approximate 50 cm drop. This works well on the shoulder and as a short crossbody for many frames. Fit will vary by height and build, so we recommend measuring your preferred drop against 50 cm to be sure.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or detachable? A: The strap is fixed and not adjustable or detachable on this vintage style.
Q: How should I care for the brown suede and fringe? A: Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift dust and revive the nap, and avoid water or liquid cleaners. Keep fringes tidy by lightly combing them in one direction; do not pull on strands. For marks or deeper cleaning, consult a professional leather specialist experienced with suede. Always test any protector on a hidden area first.
Q: Will the suede pick up colour transfer from clothing? A: Suede can absorb dyes from dark garments (such as indigo denim). Minimise prolonged rubbing against dark textiles and avoid overfilling the bag so it doesn’t press tightly against clothing. Store away from items that may transfer colour.
Q: The serial number appears illegible—does that affect authenticity? A: On vintage Chanel, the interior serial sticker can rub or fade with age and use. Authenticity is assessed holistically (materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and construction). Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: The bag is stamped Made in Italy—are Chanel bags made there? A: Yes. Chanel handbags are produced in both France and Italy. A Made in Italy stamp is correct for many authentic Chanel bags and does not indicate lower quality.
Q: There is a slight vintage smell—can I reduce it safely on suede? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. You can place bicarbonate of soda or activated charcoal in a separate open sachet inside the bag overnight and repeat as needed. Avoid perfumes or spraying liquids directly onto suede. For persistent odours, a professional specialist is recommended.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: The listing notes a serial number tag. Everything included is stated under Product information; if an item like a dust bag or authenticity card isn’t listed, it is not included—feel free to contact us for clarification.
Q: How should I store it to maintain shape and the fringe? A: Stuff the bag lightly with acid‑free tissue to support the shape, close the flap without forcing it, lay fringes straight, and store in a breathable dust bag away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight. Avoid hanging the bag by the strap for long periods to prevent stretching.
