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 the Chanel 2018 Camellia Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 35 × 15 cm, it offers roomy everyday capacity for a wallet, phone, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, water bottle, notebook and a light layer. It is better suited to day-to-day essentials than a compact handbag.
Q: Can I carry it by hand and on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has dual leather top handles with an approximate 10 cm drop and longer chain-link shoulder straps with an approximate 36 cm drop, so it can be carried by hand or worn over the shoulder. The longer straps should sit comfortably for most users, though bulky outerwear may reduce space slightly.
Q: Will it fit work essentials or a laptop? A: It should accommodate A4 papers, a tablet and many 13-inch laptops, depending on the sleeve and exact dimensions. If you plan to use it for work, it is always best to compare your device measurements with the bag measurements shown on this page.
Q: Does it have a zip closure? A: No. This tote has an open top for easy access. Inside, there is one internal zip pocket for smaller valuables you may want to keep separate.
Q: Is this style practical for everyday use? A: Yes. Chanel canvas totes in this style are popular for everyday use, travel days and general carry-all duties because they are roomy and more relaxed than structured leather bags. The trade-off is that open-top canvas totes can show wear first at the corners and edges, so careful use helps preserve them well.
Q: What does the serial number 25715744 indicate? A: Chanel bags from this era use 8-digit serial numbers, and a 25-series code corresponds to the 2018 production period. The serial number helps date the bag and should align with the authenticity card, but it does not identify the model on its own.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with an authenticity card, serial number and pouch. Included items are best confirmed in the product information on this page.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is very good. There is minor wear on the corners, light traces of use inside, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: How should I care for the printed canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners, heavy rain, prolonged sunlight and rough surfaces. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag or pouch to help maintain its shape, and try to keep the chains and hardware from rubbing against the print during storage.
