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: Is the Chanel CC Medallion Tote Bag a good everyday bag? A: Yes, it is widely loved as an everyday Chanel tote thanks to its structured shape, secure zip top and classic quilted design. That said, it works best if you carry daily essentials rather than very bulky items.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 24 x 15 cm, it is well suited to daily items such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and similar essentials. It is better for organised everyday use than for larger tech or heavily packed work carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Usually yes. With a handle drop of about 15 cm, many people can wear a Medallion Tote on the shoulder, but the fit is fairly snug and may feel tighter with thicker layers or coats.
Q: Is the opening narrow? A: This is one of the most commonly mentioned points about the Medallion Tote. The top zip keeps belongings secure, but the opening can feel a little narrow when reaching for larger items, so it is most convenient for smaller everyday essentials.
Q: Is the Medallion Tote a discontinued Chanel style? A: Yes. The Medallion Tote is a discontinued Chanel design that is now mainly found on the vintage and pre-owned market, which is part of why it remains popular with collectors and vintage Chanel buyers.
Q: What does the serial number starting with 7 mean? A: A 7-digit Chanel serial beginning with 7 is generally associated with the early 2000s, around 2002 to 2003. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial is one part of authentication and is best considered together with construction, materials and hardware details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes the serial number and authenticity card, as noted in the product information. If any additional item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition should I expect from this specific bag? A: This item is listed in good condition. The exterior shows visible rubbing on the corners and some scratches mainly on the base, while the interior has light traces of use with minor marks and scratches. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for this vintage beige leather bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid excessive moisture, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag or similar protective cover to help maintain its shape, and take extra care with lighter beige leather as marks can show more easily.
