Wear it on the shoulder with the tuckable chain or carry it as a clutch to complement pastel or metallic tones—an elegant finishing touch for special occasions.
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 Camellia clutch? A: With approximate dimensions of 13 × 24 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, small cardholder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick and compact, and a few flat essentials. Bulky items and long continental wallets are not recommended to keep the silhouette neat.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody or only as a clutch? A: It features a tuckable single chain strap, so you can wear it on the shoulder or tuck the chain inside to carry it as a handheld clutch. The listed strap drop is approximately 60 cm; whether it works crossbody depends on your build and preferred drop—many find 50–60 cm suitable for a short crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The magnetic flap closure keeps essentials in place for occasions and evenings out. For extra security, keep the bag upright and avoid overfilling so the flap seats flatly over the contents.
Q: Is satin a delicate material? How should I care for it? A: Yes—satin is a refined fabric that can be prone to snags, marks, and colour transfer. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, liquids, oils, and dark denim. Store stuffed with acid-free tissue in a dust bag, away from direct sunlight. For surface dust, use a very soft, dry cloth; for deeper cleaning, consult a professional handbag specialist rather than using water or household cleaners.
Q: What about the rhinestone embellishments—any special care tips? A: Handle with care to prevent catching or impact. Wipe gently with a soft, dry brush or microfiber to lift dust. Avoid moisture, alcohol-based products, and ultrasonic cleaners, which can loosen settings or dull stones. If a stone becomes loose or missing, seek professional repair through a luxury repair specialist.
Q: Will my phone fit? A: Most modern smartphones, including many plus-size models without bulky cases, will fit comfortably thanks to the 24 cm width. If you use a thick case or battery pack, measure it against the 13 cm height and 5 cm depth to be sure.
Q: What does the serial number 14****** indicate? A: Chanel serials beginning with 14 correspond to production circa 2010–2011. At that time, bags featured a matching serial sticker inside and an authenticity card. This piece includes an authenticity card and serial number tag as listed.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is specified under Accessories for this listing. For this piece, that is an authenticity card and serial number tag. If a dust bag or box is not listed, it is not included.
Q: What is the hardware finish? A: The bag features mixed gold-tone and silver-tone hardware for a subtle sparkle that complements the rhinestones. The hardware on this vintage piece remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful use.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi-point inspection by our in-house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
