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 CC Quilted Camera Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 18 × 15 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a standard smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, a compact or lipstick, and slim sunglasses. The exterior slip pocket is handy for a travel card or receipts. Avoid overfilling to preserve its structure.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 17 cm, so this style is designed for the shoulder and sits high under the arm on most people. It is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: What are the compartments and closure like? A: It features a flap closure with a tonal CC logo, one internal zip pocket for valuables, and one external slip pocket for quick-access items.
Q: What does a 2‑series Chanel serial number mean? A: A serial number beginning with 2 (2XXXXXX) generally dates a Chanel piece to about 1991–1994. Serial stickers can show wear over time; this is common on vintage and does not prevent our team from authenticating the item using multiple checkpoints.
Q: Is the hardware real gold‑plated? A: Chanel used 24‑karat gold‑plated hardware on many bags until around late 2008, so pieces from the early 1990s typically have plated hardware. This bag’s hardware is described as gold‑tone with light scratches in line with age; gentle patina is normal on vintage plating.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather? A: Keep away from prolonged sunlight, artificial light and humidity. If it gets wet, dab dry with a soft, non‑pilling cloth. Use a clean, soft cloth for routine wiping and avoid harsh products. For faint marks on lambskin, gently rub in small circular motions. Store upright in a breathable dust bag and wrap the strap to prevent imprints.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information section on this page; for this piece it states a serial number tag. If an item (such as a dust bag or box) is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country‑of‑origin label indicates France.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect? A: Overall condition is Very Good. There is visible rubbing and scuffing at the corners, light signs of use to the lining, a worn serial sticker, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches—consistent with a carefully used vintage piece.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is verified by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
