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 Medium Patent Chocolate Bar Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 x 17 x 7 cm, it fits day-to-evening essentials such as a phone, a small to medium wallet, keys, a card holder, lipstick, a compact and sunglasses. The internal zipped pocket is useful for smaller valuables.
Q: Is this bag best worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The interwoven chain and leather strap with a 54 cm drop is generally best suited to shoulder wear. On some smaller frames it may sit longer, but for most it is best thought of as a shoulder bag rather than a dedicated crossbody style.
Q: What is the Chocolate Bar design? A: Chocolate Bar refers to Chanel’s distinctive square quilting, which gives the bag a structured, graphic look reminiscent of a chocolate bar. It is one of Chanel’s most recognisable vintage designs from the early 2000s.
Q: What colour is this bag? A: This piece is listed in a camel or mustard-toned patent leather with gold-tone hardware. Because patent leather reflects light strongly, the shade can appear slightly warmer or glossier depending on the lighting.
Q: Is patent leather delicate? A: Patent leather has a glossy finish that can show marks, colour transfer and changes in sheen more readily than matte leather. It is best kept away from rough surfaces, prolonged sunlight and heat, and should be wiped gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth after use.
Q: What does the serial number beginning with 7 mean? A: A Chanel serial sticker beginning with 7 dates the bag to the 2002 to 2003 production period, which matches this piece. As with all vintage Chanel, the serial number is one part of the dating and authentication picture rather than the only factor.
Q: What product information are included with this item? A: The listed product information for this bag is the serial number. If you would like confirmation of anything shown or not shown in the listing, feel free to contact us before purchase.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in good condition. The exterior shows marks and discolouration on the patent leather, with wear on the corners. Inside there is light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is this a practical everyday Chanel bag? A: Yes, if you prefer a compact medium profile. It is roomy enough for essentials while remaining slim and elegant, making it a strong option for lunches, dinners, events and lighter daytime use.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by experts using a multi-point authentication process that considers materials, construction, hardware, stamps and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
