Q: What fits inside this Chanel Patent Chocolate Bar Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 28 x 16 x 8 cm, this tote is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few small cosmetics. It has a slim, structured profile, so it is better for light everyday use than for carrying bulky items. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This style has a handle drop of approximately 19 cm, which for many people allows it to sit comfortably on the shoulder, especially with lighter layers. Fit can vary depending on build and clothing, so we recommend comparing the handle drop with a bag you already use regularly.
Q: Is this a practical everyday Chanel tote? A: Yes, if you prefer a compact, structured tote for essentials. The Chocolate Bar design is known for its clean, graphic quilted look, and this size works well for day-to-day use when you do not need to carry larger items such as a laptop or tablet. As with many vintage patent leather bags, a little extra care during regular use will help preserve its finish.
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.

Fit can vary depending on build and clothing, so we recommend comparing the handle drop with a bag you already use regularly.
Q: Is this a vintage Chanel bag? A: Yes. Based on the serial number period provided in the product information, this bag dates to 2002 - 2003, making it a vintage Chanel piece from the early 2000s.
Q: How do I care for patent leather? A: Patent leather has a glossy finish but is still delicate. It should be wiped gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and kept away from harsh cleaning products, excess heat, humidity, and prolonged direct sunlight. It is also wise to avoid long contact with dark or rough materials, as patent leather can show scratches and may be prone to surface wear over time.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in good condition. The exterior shows peeling and scratches in the patent leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all product images carefully for the most accurate impression of its current condition.
Q: Does this bag come with any product information? A: Yes. According to the product information, this item includes a serial number tag. If any other extras are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is the serial number enough to authenticate a Chanel bag? A: No. The serial number is an important dating and authenticity clue, but it should never be the only factor. Chanel authentication is usually based on a combination of details, including materials, construction, stitching, hardware, interior markings, and overall craftsmanship, alongside the serial sticker or tag.
