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 will fit inside the Chanel Small CC Tassel Camera Bag? A: With measurements of approx. 18.5 x 13 x 4 cm, it is best suited to essentials such as a mobile phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick and a few small daily items. Its slim profile keeps it elegant, but it is not ideal for bulkier pieces such as a long wallet or large sunglasses case.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap measurement is listed as 43 cm. On most people this style is best as a shoulder bag, though on some frames it may sit as a shorter crossbody. Comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own is the best way to judge the fit.
Q: Is the bag secure for daily use? A: Yes. This piece has a top zip closure with a leather tassel pull, which many buyers like for its easy access and added security compared with an open-top style.
Q: What materials and details does this bag have? A: This vintage Chanel style is crafted in black suede with gold-tone hardware, a single interwoven chain-and-leather shoulder strap, and a black leather lining. It is made in Italy.
Q: Is suede difficult to maintain? A: Suede is beautiful but more delicate than smooth leather, so it benefits from careful handling. Keep it away from rain, prolonged sunlight and rubbing against light-coloured clothing, avoid overfilling it, and store it upright with light stuffing to help preserve the shape. For stains or heavier marks, specialist suede care is the safest option.
Q: What does the serial number suggest about the age of the bag? A: This item has a 7-digit serial number beginning with 1. In Chanel serial-number dating guides, a 1-series code is generally associated with production around 1989 to 1991, which fits the vintage tassel camera-bag era. As always, serial numbers are one part of authentication rather than the whole story.
Q: What condition should I expect from this specific item? A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good. The exterior shows minor rubbing on the corners and some scuffs, the interior has light traces of use and minor marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and minor tarnishing.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: The listed product information includes the serial number. No authenticity card, box or dust bag is mentioned on this product page, so only the items expressly stated should be expected.
Q: Is this a practical day-to-evening bag? A: Yes. Small Chanel camera bags are often loved for being lightweight, hands-free and easy to style, and this black suede and gold-tone version works especially well for lunches, dinners, events and light daily use when you only need the essentials.
