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 Grand Shopping Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 28 x 25 x 13 cm and a structured three-compartment interior, this bag is best suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch and a slim tablet or notebook. Bulkier items will reduce the usable width because of the divided interior.
Q: Can it fit a laptop? A: It may accommodate some very slim small laptops, but it is not ideal as a dedicated laptop bag. Owners often report a tight fit with 13-inch devices in GST styles, and regular heavy laptop use can strain the lining and structure. For this specific bag, a tablet or light daily essentials are the safer choice.
Q: Is the Chanel GST discontinued? A: Yes. The Chanel Grand Shopping Tote was discontinued around 2015, which is one reason it remains a sought-after style on the second-hand market.
Q: Is caviar leather a good choice for everyday use? A: Yes. Chanel caviar leather is known for its textured finish, good structure and better resistance to scratches and scuffs than smoother leathers, which is why it is especially popular on everyday totes.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Store it upright in a pouch or dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture. Use only a soft cloth for light surface cleaning and avoid overfilling it. As this vintage piece already shows corner scuffing and light interior wear, gentle handling is recommended.
Q: Is this bag comfortable to carry on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has dual chain and leather shoulder straps with an approximate strap drop of 26 cm, which is generally suitable for shoulder carry. The leather sections help make the straps more comfortable than all-chain handles.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial number 11407159 begins with 11, which generally places Chanel production in the 2006 to 2008 period. Serial numbers are useful for dating, but they should always be considered alongside the bag's materials, hardware and craftsmanship.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes its serial number. Any additional extras, such as an authenticity card, box or dust bag, are only included if specifically listed in the product information for this piece.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in good condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use with minor marks and stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How can I assess authenticity on a vintage Chanel GST? A: No single detail should be used on its own. The serial number is an important clue, but vintage Chanel authentication should also consider leather quality, quilting, hardware, logo details, lining, stamping and overall construction.
