Q: What fits inside this Chanel Lambskin Medallion Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 23 x 15 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and a compact tablet. It offers practical everyday capacity, though most larger laptops are unlikely to fit comfortably. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, it can usually be worn on the shoulder. This piece has an approximate strap drop of 17 cm, but because the Medallion Tote is structured and sits fairly high, comfort can vary depending on your build and what you are wearing. Many collectors also carry it in the hand or on the arm.
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.

It offers practical everyday capacity, though most larger laptops are unlikely to fit comfortably. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, it can usually be worn on the shoulder. This piece has an approximate strap drop of 17 cm, but because the Medallion Tote is structured and sits fairly high, comfort can vary depending on your build and what you are wearing. Many collectors also carry it in the hand or on the arm.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: Yes. This Medallion Tote features a zip closure, which makes it more secure than an open-top tote and is one of the reasons this model remains a popular everyday vintage Chanel style.
Q: Is the Chanel Medallion Tote discontinued? A: Yes. The Medallion Tote is a discontinued Chanel style, so it is only available on the vintage and second-hand market. That is part of its appeal for collectors who enjoy older Chanel designs that are no longer produced.
Q: What should I know about lambskin leather? A: Lambskin is loved for its soft, smooth and luxurious feel, but it is more delicate than grained leathers and can show scratches, creasing and colour transfer more easily. On this item, signs of use include scratches and creasing on the leather, which are consistent with normal wear on vintage lambskin.
Q: How should I care for this vintage lambskin bag? A: Handle it gently and avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, humidity, heat and friction against dark or rough fabrics. For routine care, use only a soft cloth and store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable pouch when not in use. Avoid harsh cleaning products, as they may alter the finish of the leather.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about the age of this bag? A: The serial number begins with 6, which places this bag in the 2000-2002 production period. That aligns with Chanel’s 7-digit serial sticker system used on vintage bags from that era, making it consistent with an early-2000s Medallion Tote.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This item includes the serial number tag. Any included product information is listed on the product page; if something is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This piece is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior shows scratches and creasing on the lambskin, the interior has light traces of use and a vintage smell, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These details are reflected in the price and are typical for a pre-owned bag of this age.
Q: Is vintage smell normal, and can it be improved? A: A vintage smell can occur in older leather bags that have been stored for long periods. Light airing in a dry, well-ventilated space may help, but we do not recommend harsh sprays or home treatments on delicate lambskin. If you are especially sensitive to odour, a professional leather specialist is usually the safest option.
