Delivery & Returns
Q: What makes the Chanel Chocolate Bar Tote distinctive? A: The Chocolate Bar line is known for its paneled square quilting, which gives the bag a more graphic, structured look than Chanel’s classic diamond quilting. This piece also features black quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, and dual interwoven chain and leather shoulder straps for a recognisably vintage Chanel finish.
Q: When was this bag made? A: Based on the serial number 7193882, this bag was most likely produced around 2002 to 2003. That places it firmly within Chanel’s early-2000s vintage era, which is when Chocolate Bar styles were especially popular.
Q: Is the Chocolate Bar Tote a discontinued Chanel style? A: Yes, the Chocolate Bar line is a vintage Chanel design and is no longer part of Chanel’s current standard line-up. That is one reason these bags remain appealing to collectors and buyers who want a less commonly seen Chanel tote.
Q: What fits inside this tote bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 x 23 x 10 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses case, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella. It should also suit slim A4 papers or a tablet, but we recommend comparing your own items with the listed measurements for the best idea of fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes, this is designed as a shoulder tote. The strap drop is approximately 27 cm, which generally gives enough room to sit comfortably on the shoulder for everyday use, particularly over lighter clothing.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: Some slim 13-inch laptops may fit based on the overall width and height, but this can vary depending on the shape of the opening and whether your device is in a sleeve. For the safest fit, please compare your laptop’s exact measurements with the bag dimensions shown on this page.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The listed product information includes the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other item is not specifically mentioned in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: What condition should I expect? A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light scuffing on the corners, the interior has a light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These are normal signs of careful wear for an early-2000s Chanel tote.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Chanel serial numbers are useful for dating vintage bags, but authentication should never rely on the serial alone. At A Retro Tale, items are assessed through multiple checkpoints such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, interior details, and serial features before being offered for sale.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Wipe the bag gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid rain, prolonged direct sunlight, and heat. When not in use, store it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape and keep it in a breathable dust bag. Avoid overfilling it, as this can stress the leather and straps over time.
