Ideal for city breaks, festivals and weekend errands, this Chanel waist belt bag keeps essentials close and hands‑free. Crafted in black quilted caviar leather with silver‑tone hardware, it fastens with a zip and CC charm and adjusts comfortably at the waist—an elegant, practical choice for travel and busy days.
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 can I fit inside the Chanel Caviar Waist Belt Bag? A: With its compact 18 × 15 × 4 cm profile, it comfortably holds a smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm and other small daily essentials. A slim passport fits as well; bulky long wallets or hard sunglasses cases may be too large.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody or as a chest sling as well as on the waist? A: Yes. The adjustable waist strap allows multiple ways to style it. Many wear it high on the waist, on the hips, or across the chest as a short crossbody depending on body frame. It is not a dedicated long crossbody strap, so the drop will be shorter than classic crossbody bags.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather durable for everyday use? A: Yes. Caviar is a grained calfskin known for its resilience and scratch resistance, making it a practical option for hands‑free, daily wear while maintaining structure and appearance over time.
Q: How should I care for caviar leather? A: Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after use. When deeper cleaning is needed, use a gentle leather cleaner designed for grained calfskin and let it air‑dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals, oils, and prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help it keep its shape.
Q: Is caviar leather water‑resistant? A: It is more forgiving than smooth lambskin but it is not waterproof. If it gets splashed, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry; do not use direct heat.
Q: What does the serial number 28733021 tell me about this piece? A: The serial begins with 28, which dates the bag to around 2020. This sits just before Chanel moved to the microchip system, so a matching authenticity card and serial sticker/tag may be present when listed in the product information.
Q: Do Chanel handbags still come with authenticity cards? A: Since 2021, most new Chanel handbags use an embedded microchip and metal plate instead of the older sticker‑and‑card system. Earlier pieces like this one can still have their original card when available—please see the product information on this page for what is included.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully verified by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, serials and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: How should I look after the silver‑tone hardware? A: Wipe it gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth after wear. Avoid abrasive polishes or chemicals. Light hairline scratches from normal use are expected and reflected in the condition notes.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The interior label indicates France.
