Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Melrose Cabas Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 60 × 28 × 20 cm, this is a roomy tote that can comfortably hold daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, a cosmetic pouch, a water bottle, and a light cardigan or scarf. It may also suit larger items depending on their exact dimensions, so we recommend comparing your essentials with the Measurements shown on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This Melrose Cabas is designed with dual chain and fabric shoulder straps, and the strap drop is approximately 30 cm, which gives it a comfortable shoulder-carry fit for most users.
Q: Does this bag have any interior organisation? A: Yes. According to the product information, it has a tonal lining with one internal pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller essentials close at hand.
Q: What are the main design details of this bag? A: This piece features cream fabric, silver-tone hardware, and dual chain-and-fabric shoulder straps. The overall look is relaxed and elegant, with a soft tote silhouette that is typical of vintage Melrose Cabas styles.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial number begins with 12, which places production in the 2008 to 2009 period. That timing also fits the era most commonly associated with the Chanel Melrose Cabas line.
Q: Is the Melrose Cabas considered a lightweight Chanel bag? A: Compared with many more structured leather Chanel totes, Melrose Cabas styles are often appreciated for their softer feel and relatively easy carry. That said, this bag still features chain straps and a generously sized body, so the overall feel will depend on what you carry inside.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: Yes, it can work very well as an everyday shoulder tote thanks to its spacious shape and practical strap length. However, because this is a light-coloured vintage fabric bag, it is best suited to careful daily use to help minimise marks, friction, and colour transfer.
Q: How should I care for a vintage light-coloured Chanel fabric bag? A: Avoid overfilling it, prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture, and rubbing against dark or textured clothing. If the bag gets damp, blot it gently with a soft, non-pilling cloth. For storage, keep it upright, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and protect the chains so they do not press against the fabric unnecessarily.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This bag is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful vintage wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with the serial number noted in the product information. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication should never rely on the serial number alone. A proper assessment looks at the serial details together with the materials, stitching, hardware, lining, logo details, and overall construction. At A Retro Tale, each item is vetted by in-house experts before it is listed.
