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 is the Chanel Coco Window line and which period is this pochette from? A: Coco Window is a playful early‑2000s Chanel line in printed transparent vinyl with a shop‑window motif and a resin/plastic chain. Pieces are from the 2002–2004 era; the 8‑series serial on this bag places it around 2003–2004, aligning with the Spring 2003 seasonal releases.
Q: What typically fits inside this pochette? A: Given the approximate interior dimensions (about 24 × 13 × 6 cm), it suits daily essentials: a large smartphone, small cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and a few slim cosmetics. Bulky pouches or water bottles will be a tight fit—packing flat, slim items makes the most of the space.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: No. The single chain is designed for the shoulder with an approximate 20 cm drop, sitting neatly under the arm. It is not long enough for crossbody wear.
Q: Is the vinyl material waterproof? A: The vinyl surface is water‑resistant and easy to wipe, but the bag is not fully waterproof at seams and the zip. Avoid heavy rain or submersion and dry gently with a soft cloth if it gets wet.
Q: How should I care for and clean the vinyl/PVC? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp, lint‑free cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry immediately. Avoid alcohol, acetone, harsh solvents and abrasive sponges which can dull or cloud the surface. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight to help prevent warping or discolouration.
Q: Will the clear/transparent vinyl yellow over time? A: Clear PVC can gradually yellow or haze with UV exposure, heat and certain chemicals. To slow this, store the bag stuffed to hold its shape, away from sunlight, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid contact with coloured leathers or dark fabrics that may transfer dye.
Q: Any storage tips specific to the chain and soft vinyl body? A: Store upright, lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue. Wrap the chain so it does not press into the vinyl and leave imprints. Keep in a breathable pouch; avoid plastic covers and humid or hot places.
Q: What does the serial number 8049758 indicate? A: An 8‑series seven‑digit Chanel serial typically dates to 2003–2004. Serial numbers are one data point; they should be considered alongside construction, stamps and overall craftsmanship when assessing a piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this piece. For this bag that is the serial number tag, authenticity card and booklet. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Each item is verified by in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamping and serial details, supported by industry references. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can provide further details on request.
