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 the Chanel Choco Bar Mini Boston Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 x 19 x 11 cm, it is a practical everyday size for essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and other daily items. As always, capacity depends on how you organise your belongings, so please refer to the Measurements in the product information for the best guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This style has dual leather handles with an approximate handle drop of 15 cm. It is best suited to hand carry or a close shoulder carry, depending on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No detachable shoulder strap is listed for this item. This version is designed with dual top handles rather than a longer crossbody or shoulder strap.
Q: What is the Choco Bar design? A: Choco Bar refers to Chanel’s distinctive square quilted pattern, which gives the bag a clean, graphic early-2000s look. It is a recognisable vintage Chanel design that differs from the brand’s more classic diamond quilting.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial number shown for this item is from the 7 series, which is generally associated with production around 2002 to 2003. As with vintage Chanel, the serial helps date the bag but is only one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or strap is not listed in the product information, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this one? A: Authentication should never rely on the serial number alone. A proper review also considers the construction, stitching, hardware, lining, logo details, and overall craftsmanship. At A Retro Tale, each item is carefully checked by experts before it is offered for sale.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel leather bag? A: To help preserve its shape and finish, avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, artificial light, and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. When not in use, store it upright and lightly stuffed to help maintain its structure.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The bag is described as being in Very Good condition with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful vintage wear.
