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 this Chanel Caviar Vanity On Chain? A: Based on its compact measurements (approx. 13 × 10 × 4.5 cm), it comfortably holds a slim cardholder, keys, lipstick, folded notes/coins and small earbuds. Most modern smartphones do not fit due to the structured opening and height; please measure your device (with case) against the dimensions for certainty.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or removable? A: This example has a single, fixed-length interwoven chain-and-leather strap that is not designed to be adjustable or detachable. The strap drop is approximately 56 cm, suitable for shoulder or crossbody wear depending on your build and styling preferences.
Q: Does it have a mirror or interior organisation? A: Yes. It features a zip-around lid with an internal mirror and a burgundy leather-lined compartment. Many Vanity with Chain models also include a tiny slip or lipstick holder for quick essentials.
Q: Will my phone fit inside? A: Most standard smartphones exceed the internal opening/height of this model and will not fit. Very compact or older mini phones may fit without a case, but we recommend comparing your phone’s measurements with the bag’s dimensions before purchase.
Q: Is caviar leather durable for everyday use? A: Chanel’s grained caviar leather is known for its robustness and resistance to light scratches, making it a practical choice for frequent wear. Still avoid overfilling, prolonged rubbing against coarse fabrics, and colour transfer from or onto delicate garments.
Q: How should I care for the caviar leather and gold-tone hardware? A: After use, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from moisture, oils, perfumes and prolonged sunlight/heat. Do not overfill. Store upright, loosely stuffed, and in a breathable dust bag with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints. For occasional deeper cleans, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for grained calfskin very sparingly; avoid harsh chemicals and home remedies.
Q: Any tips for accessing items while wearing it crossbody? A: Because the strap connects near the lid, support the base with one hand while unzipping to prevent the body tipping forward. This helps keep contents secure and the zip motion smooth on the go.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: According to the details on this page, it comes with a box, dust bag, brand booklet, receipt and a serial number tag. If an authenticity card is not listed under product information, it is not included.
Q: Where was it made and what is the condition? A: The country-of-origin label states Italy. Overall condition is excellent with light traces of use; the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches as noted.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
