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 Suede Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 29 × 21 × 10 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, long wallet, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case and an 8–9 inch tablet or e‑reader. It will not accommodate A4 folders or a 13-inch laptop. Packing slim items upright helps maintain the bag’s structure.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The bag features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 26 cm drop. It is designed for shoulder carry and typically does not sit comfortably as a crossbody on most frames.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The interior is brown leather lined with two main compartments and a zipped pocket, secured by a CC turn‑lock flap closure—handy for separating daily essentials.
Q: What does the serial number 5XXXXXX indicate? A: A 7‑digit Chanel serial beginning with 5 dates the piece to approximately 1997–1999. Chanel used serial stickers from the mid‑1980s until 2021, when microchips replaced stickers. The serial is one of several checkpoints used to assess age and authenticity.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware real gold? A: Chanel used 24‑carat gold plating on much of its gold‑tone hardware prior to the late 2000s, which aligns with this piece’s late‑1990s era. Normal vintage wear may show fine scratches or some discolouration, as reflected in the condition notes.
Q: How should I care for the suede exterior? A: Keep suede away from rain and liquids, pre‑treat with a handbag‑safe suede protector, and refresh the nap with a clean suede brush. Allow any moisture to dry naturally before gently brushing. Avoid oils, household cleaners and overfilling, which can distort the quilting.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with suede? A: Yes. Suede is absorbent and can pick up dye from dark denim and other fabrics. Minimise prolonged contact with contrasting colours and high‑friction areas, and avoid wearing in heavy rain or damp conditions.
Q: How should I store this bag? A: Store it loosely stuffed to support its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the strap positioned so it doesn’t press into the suede and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, the serial number tag is included. No other items are included unless explicitly stated there.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Each item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can provide further details on request.
