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 Le Train Boston Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 31 x 17 x 15 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other compact items. It is roomy for a structured Boston bag, but it is not likely to fit a standard laptop. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size.
Q: Is this bag designed to be carried by hand or on the shoulder? A: This model has dual rolled handles and no shoulder strap is listed in the product information. With an approximately 18 cm handle drop, it is primarily intended for hand or arm carry, although some may find it can sit lightly on the shoulder depending on build and clothing.
Q: Is the Chanel Le Train Boston Bag more of an everyday bag or a travel bag? A: This size works best as an everyday or day-trip bag rather than a large weekender. The Boston shape gives it useful structure and space, while the coated canvas makes it a practical choice for regular use.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: According to the product information, this bag features printed coated canvas with black leather trim, silver-tone hardware, beige textile lining and a top zip closure. Coated canvas is valued for being relatively lightweight, durable and easier to wipe clean than many delicate leathers.
Q: Is the Le Train print considered a rare Chanel design? A: Yes, this is a less commonly seen vintage Chanel novelty design from the mid-2000s era. The Le Train, sometimes referred to on the resale market as Central Station or 31 Rue Cambon train-print, is sought after by buyers who prefer unusual archival Chanel pieces over the brand's more familiar classics.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in good condition. The exterior shows light discolouration and marks, the interior has stains on the bottom, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage pieces, gentle signs of age and wear are to be expected.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information lists an authenticity card and dust bag, and notes that the serial number is illegible. If you would like confirmation of everything included before purchase, customer service can help verify the item details.
Q: Does an illegible serial number automatically mean a vintage Chanel bag is not authentic? A: No. On older Chanel bags, serial stickers can wear down, peel or become difficult to read over time. An authenticity card is helpful, but authentication should always be based on the bag as a whole, including materials, construction, hardware and period-correct details.
Q: How should I care for coated canvas and leather trim on a vintage Chanel bag? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, oils or heavy conditioners, especially on the printed surface. Try not to overfill the bag, protect it from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture, and store it upright in its dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain the shape.
