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 are the signature features of the Cambon Tote? A: This tote is crafted in black quilted calfskin with a contrasting white CC logo, silver‑toned hardware, and dual rolled leather handles with signature knots. It has an open top, a rear slip pocket for quick access, and a pink Chanel logo‑jacquard lining with an interior zipped pocket for valuables.
Q: How much does it hold and does a 13-inch laptop fit? A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 24 × 14 cm and a strap drop of about 22 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a cosmetic pouch, a small water bottle and an A4 document folder. A slim 13-inch laptop can fit without a bulky case; for optimal protection we recommend using a padded sleeve. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Cambon line still in production and when was this piece made? A: The Cambon Ligne launched in 2004 and has since been discontinued, so pieces are available on the pre‑owned market. Based on the 10‑series serial number (10011578), this bag typically dates to around 2005–2006.
Q: Is the leather calfskin or lambskin? A: Cambon bags were produced primarily in quilted calfskin, with some seasonal variations. This specific piece is black quilted calfskin, noted for a supple feel and good day‑to‑day durability.
Q: Does the tote have a closure? A: This model has an open top for easy access. It includes an interior zipped pocket for smaller valuables and a rear exterior slip pocket for items you need quickly. We recommend using a pouch for loose small items when travelling.
Q: Is the white CC logo prone to colour transfer? A: Light‑coloured leather can pick up dye from dark clothing (especially denim). Minimise prolonged contact with dark or abrasive materials and store the bag away from light and humidity. If transfer occurs, avoid harsh cleaners and gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth; seek a specialist for deeper care.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: The strap drop is approximately 22 cm, which typically allows comfortable shoulder carry for most, though it may be snug over thick winter layers. The rolled handles are designed to sit securely on the shoulder or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this listing. For this piece, that includes the authenticity card and the serial number tag. If an item such as a dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point authentication process by our in‑house experts, including inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: Can Chanel still service or repair this vintage model? A: Chanel offers after‑sales care through its boutiques; services and eligibility vary by piece. The current five‑year CHANEL & moi warranty applies to handbags purchased new from April 2021 onwards. For vintage items like this, repairs may still be possible subject to assessment and fees. Where brand service is not available, reputable specialist leather workshops can provide cleaning and restoration.
