Chanel CC Quilted Shopping Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel CC Quilted Shopping Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 45 x 25 x 17 cm, this bag is roomy enough for daily essentials such as a full-size wallet, phone, sunglasses case, keys, a cosmetic pouch, a notebook or tablet, and a small bottle of water. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how you organise the contents and the shape of what you carry.

Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder?
A: Yes. The dual chain-link and leather shoulder straps have an approximate drop of 23 cm, which is generally comfortable for shoulder carry over light to medium layers. Fit can vary slightly depending on your frame and clothing.

Q: How is the interior organised?
A: The interior is lined in black leather and includes one internal zip pocket. This gives you an open main compartment for larger essentials, plus a secure place for smaller items you want to keep easy to reach.

Q: Is caviar leather a practical choice for everyday use?
A: Yes. Chanel's caviar leather is widely appreciated for daily use because the grained finish is generally more resistant to visible scratches and tends to hold its structure better than softer leathers. As this is a vintage piece, careful handling will still help preserve its shape and finish.

Q: What does the serial number tell me about this bag?
A: The serial number is a 6-series code, which places production roughly between 2000 and 2002. On vintage Chanel bags, the serial sticker helps date the piece, but it is only one part of the overall authentication process.

Q: Does a Chanel bag need an authenticity card to be genuine?
A: No. An authenticity card can be helpful, but vintage Chanel bags can still be authentic without one. Authentication is usually based on the serial sticker, materials, stitching, hardware, logo details, lining and overall construction taken together.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These are normal signs of careful prior wear and are already reflected in the condition notes.

Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel shopping bag?
A: Store it upright in a cool, dry place and lightly stuff it when not in use to help maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture, and contact with rough surfaces. For routine care, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and keep perfume, hand cream and alcohol-based products away from the leather and hardware.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: The listed product information for this piece is the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag or other extras are not specifically listed on the product page, they should not be assumed to be included.
