Chanel CC Ponyhair Tassel Camera Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel CC Ponyhair Tassel Camera Bag?

Its slim camera-bag shape keeps it practical without feeling bulky. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: This piece has a shoulder strap drop of approximately 45 cm. For most wearers, that makes it best suited to shoulder carry rather than a long crossbody fit, although how it sits can vary depending on height and styling preference.

Q: Is ponyhair a delicate material?
A: Yes. Ponyhair is a beautiful but delicate finish and is generally more prone to visible wear than smooth leather. Friction from clothing, repeated rubbing, and moisture can all affect the surface over time. This specific bag already shows hair loss to the exterior, which is noted in the condition details.

Q: How should I care for this vintage ponyhair Chanel bag?
A: Handle it gently and avoid rain, prolonged sunlight, rough fabrics, and abrasive contact. Store it upright in a pouch or dust bag, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain shape. For the ponyhair surface, avoid harsh cleaners and rubbing; if needed, use a very soft, dry or barely damp cloth and follow the direction of the hair. The leather trim and lining should also be kept away from moisture and overfilling.

Q: What does the serial number sticker indicate?
A: The serial number sticker begins with the 0 series, which corresponds to production in the 1986 to 1988 period. As with vintage Chanel in general, the sticker is one useful dating detail and is considered alongside the bag’s construction, materials, and overall design features.

Q: What compartments and pockets does this bag have?
A: This bag features a top zip closure with tassel pull, one exterior front slip pocket, and one internal zipped pocket. It also has a black leather lining, which gives it a compact but organised interior.

Q: What is the condition of this bag?
A: The overall condition is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior ponyhair shows hair loss, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with many authentic vintage Chanel bags, gentle signs of age are part of the piece’s character.

Q: What is included with this bag?
A: This item includes a serial number sticker. If you would like to confirm everything included, please refer to the product information, as only the items specifically listed there are included with the purchase.
