Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Patent Quilted Crossbody Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 21 × 6 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few small personal items. It is a medium-sized vintage crossbody rather than a large carry-all, so bulkier items may be a tight fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This style is designed as a crossbody bag and features a single flat shoulder strap. The strap drop is approximately 51 cm, which generally allows for comfortable crossbody wear depending on your height and preferred fit.

It is a medium-sized vintage crossbody rather than a large carry-all, so bulkier items may be a tight fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This style is designed as a crossbody bag and features a single flat shoulder strap. The strap drop is approximately 51 cm, which generally allows for comfortable crossbody wear depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: What pockets and closures does this bag have? A: According to the product information, the bag features an external front pocket with a CC turn-lock closure, a top zip closure, and one internal pocket. This makes it practical for organising smaller essentials while keeping the main compartment secure.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage Chanel bag? A: The overall condition is listed as good, with light traces of use. The interior is in good condition with light wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As this is a vintage piece, minor signs of age are to be expected and form part of its character.
Q: How should patent leather be cared for? A: Patent leather should be handled gently to preserve its glossy finish. Wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth after use, avoid abrasive cleaners, and keep it away from excessive heat, humidity, and prolonged direct sunlight. For storage, keep it in a breathable dust bag and avoid pressing it against dark or textured materials that could leave marks.
Q: Is patent leather prone to scratches or colour transfer? A: Yes, patent leather can show light surface scratches and may be more vulnerable to colour transfer than some matte leathers, especially if stored against dark fabrics or denim. Gentle handling and careful storage will help minimise these signs over time.
Q: What does the serial number indicate? A: The serial number tag shows a 3-series code, which corresponds to production in the mid-1990s. For this bag, the product data dates it to 1994–1996. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number helps indicate the production period, but authentication should always be based on the bag as a whole, including construction, materials, hardware, and provenance.
Q: Does this bag come with an authenticity card or other extras? A: This item includes a serial number tag. Everything included with the bag is listed under the product information section; if another item is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Where was this Chanel bag made? A: The country of origin label states France. This is consistent with many vintage Chanel bags from the period and is part of the bag’s documented product details.
Q: Is this a practical everyday vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes, if you prefer a compact, hands-free silhouette. A zip-top crossbody with an exterior pocket is often appreciated for day-to-evening use, travel, and occasions when you want easy access to essentials without carrying a larger tote.
