Vintage Chanel Wallet On Chain Bag - 857-20265 - A Retro Tale
Perfect for weddings, dinners and nights out, this classic Chanel Wallet on Chain in black quilted Caviar leather with silver‑tone hardware keeps cards and small essentials neatly organised. The interwoven chain allows easy hands‑free wear, lending polished elegance to any city evening.
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 Classic Wallet On Chain? A: Despite its compact profile (approx. 19 × 13 × 4.5 cm on this piece), it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a smartphone, passport, slim key fob, lipstick, and folded notes/receipts. Because the interior has built‑in organisation, you won’t need a separate wallet, which maximises space and helps the flap close neatly.
Q: Will an iPhone Pro Max fit? A: Most standard smartphones fit. Larger Pro Max models can fit snugly if the case is not bulky and you angle the phone when placing it inside. Always compare your phone’s measurements with the bag’s and avoid overfilling so the snap closure stays aligned.
Q: How can this WOC be worn? A: It is designed to be worn crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch with the chain tucked inside. On this item the strap drop is approximately 62 cm, giving a true crossbody length for most and an elegant shoulder carry for dressier looks.
Q: Is the chain adjustable or removable? A: The classic WOC features a fixed, non‑removable chain. If you prefer a shorter drop, you can loop part of the chain under the flap or use a small internal clip; ensure the flap isn’t forced and that the chain does not imprint on the leather.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The classic WOC layout includes six card slots, a zip pocket, additional slip pockets, a main compartment for a phone and small essentials, and a flat pocket on the back—purpose‑built to replace a separate wallet while keeping the silhouette slim.
Q: How should I care for black caviar leather? A: Caviar (grained calf) is robust and more resistant to light scratches than smoother leathers. Wipe occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid oils or harsh cleaners, and keep away from prolonged sunlight and humidity. Store lightly stuffed in its dust bag with the chain wrapped to prevent impressions, and do not overfill to preserve the shape and snap closure.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this listing, that includes the serial number tag and a dust bag. If an item such as a box or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What does the serial number 25****** indicate? A: It denotes a production series around 2018. Chanel transitioned to embedded microchips from 2021 onward; as this piece predates that change, it carries a serial number tag rather than a microchipped plaque.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This WOC is stamped Made in France, as shown in the product images and description.
Q: Can I use a separate wallet inside? A: To keep capacity optimised and the flap from straining, use the built‑in card slots instead of a full‑size wallet. A very slim card holder can work, but bulky wallets reduce space and may distort the flap over time.
