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 CC Caviar Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 x 22 x 11 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a slim notebook. A compact tablet may also fit, depending on its case and how you organise the interior.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features dual chain-link and leather shoulder straps with an approximate strap drop of 27 cm, making it suitable for shoulder carry for most users.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: Yes. This tote has a top zip closure, which offers more security than an open-top shopper and helps keep your belongings safely contained during daily use.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It is better suited to everyday essentials than to heavier work items. A very slim laptop may fit depending on the exact dimensions and the width of the zip opening, but we recommend comparing your device carefully with the measurements on this page before purchasing.
Q: What are the benefits of Chanel caviar leather? A: Caviar leather is known for its grained texture, structure and durability. Compared with smoother Chanel leathers, it is generally more resistant to visible scratches and better suited to regular use, which is one reason it remains so popular on vintage tote styles.
Q: Is white caviar leather hard to maintain? A: White caviar leather is beautiful but does require mindful use. Lighter colours can show scuffs, marks and colour transfer more easily, especially from dark denim or richly dyed fabrics. Gentle handling and regular light cleaning help keep it looking its best.
Q: How should I care for this vintage bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid overfilling it, and store it lightly stuffed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and dark fabrics. For deeper cleaning, we recommend a trusted leather specialist rather than harsh home treatments.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is listed in good vintage condition. It has visible scuffing on the corners, stains to the interior, and shiny hardware with light scratches. These signs of wear are reflected in the overall condition description and are typical for a pre-owned vintage bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information notes a serial number. If any additional original items are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included. You are always welcome to contact us for confirmation before purchasing.
Q: The serial number is marked as illegible. Is that a concern? A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel bags, serial stickers can fade or become difficult to read over time due to age and wear. Authenticity should be assessed through the bag as a whole, including materials, construction, stitching, hardware and serial details, rather than relying on one feature alone.
Q: How is this bag authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed by experts using a multi-point process that examines details such as leather, quilting, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial information. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we offer.
