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 In the Mix Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 x 24 x 18 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a notebook. It also has internal pockets to help keep smaller items organised. If you plan to carry larger items, please compare them with the Measurements listed on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag features dual leather top handles as well as a chain-link shoulder strap with a leather pad. The listed strap drop is approximately 28 cm, so it is designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder for most wearers, while the 10 cm handle drop also allows handheld carry.
Q: Is the Chanel In the Mix a good everyday bag? A: Yes, the In the Mix is widely appreciated as a practical Chanel tote thanks to its roomy silhouette, multiple carrying options, and organised interior. This particular piece combines a spacious shape with a secure CC turn-lock closure, making it a strong choice for everyday use if you enjoy vintage Chanel styles.
Q: Does this bag fit a laptop? A: It may fit a very small tablet or compact device, but most standard laptops are likely to be a tight fit once the bag’s structure and interior space are taken into account. We recommend checking your device against the listed measurements of 33 x 24 x 18 cm before purchasing.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is rated in very good vintage condition. The exterior has some creasing to the leather and a small stain on the front, the lining has a few small stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These signs of wear are consistent with a carefully used vintage Chanel bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The only item noted in the product information is the serial number sticker. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other original packaging is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: Chanel serial numbers are an important checkpoint when assessing vintage bags. This item has serial number 16033876, which falls within Chanel’s earlier sticker era and generally places the bag in the early 2010s. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is one part of the overall authentication picture rather than the only factor.
Q: How should I care for this vintage quilted leather bag? A: Handle it gently and avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, humidity, and friction against dark or delicate fabrics. Wipe the leather with a soft cloth, keep the bag stored upright when possible, and protect the chain and leather sections during storage. As this piece already shows light vintage wear, careful storage and occasional gentle cleaning will help preserve its shape and finish.
