Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Patent Chocolate Bar Bag? A: With measurements of 28 x 16.5 x 5 cm, this bag is best suited to essentials such as a phone, a slim wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick and a few small daily items. Its slim profile means it is not intended for bulkier belongings or a laptop.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: It is designed as a shoulder bag. The strap drop is listed as 33 cm, which should sit comfortably on the shoulder for most wearers, but it is not likely to wear crossbody on most people.
Q: What makes the Chanel Chocolate Bar design distinctive? A: The Chocolate Bar name refers to Chanel’s distinctive square quilted pattern, which gives the bag a more graphic look than classic diamond quilting and is especially associated with vintage early-2000s styles. ([fashionphile.com](https://www.fashionphile.com/products/chanel-jersey-quilted-chocolate-bar-shoulder-bag-black-1901710))
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial number in the product information dates this piece to 2000–2002. That matches widely used Chanel serial-number dating guides for vintage bags from this period, which used interior serial stickers and corresponding authenticity cards. ([fashionphile.com](https://www.fashionphile.com/blogs/academy/chanel-serial-codes-decoded))
Q: Does this bag come with proof of authenticity? A: Yes. The product information states that this item includes an authenticity card, dust bag and serial number. For vintage Chanel bags of this era, the authenticity card and the serial sticker were intended to correspond to one another. ([fashionphile.com](https://www.fashionphile.com/blogs/academy/chanel-serial-codes-decoded))
Q: Does the bag have interior organisation? A: Yes. According to the product information, it has a black leather lining with multiple card slots and pockets, which is useful for keeping smaller essentials organised.
Q: How should patent leather be cared for? A: Patent leather should be handled gently. Use a soft cloth for light wiping, avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and humidity, and store it upright in its pouch or dust bag when not in use. Chanel also advises avoiding prolonged contact with dark materials that may cause colour transfer. ([chanel.com](https://www.chanel.com/gb/fashion/care-instructions/bags/))
Q: Is black patent leather a practical choice? A: Generally, yes. Community feedback on Chanel patent bags often notes that darker patent shades are easier to live with than lighter ones, because colour transfer and yellowing are usually more visible on pale patent. That said, fingerprints, light rubbing and surface marks can still show on glossy leather. ([forum.purseblog.com](https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/is-chanel-patent-durable.1027988/))
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: It is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior has scratches and signs of wear, and the hardware shows scratches and discolouration.
