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 Cambon Ligne Tote? A: With dimensions of approximately 34 x 24 x 14 cm, this tote is spacious enough for your daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large wallet, smartphone, cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case, and A4 documents or a tablet. While a compact 13-inch laptop may fit, the top zip closure and rounded corners can make it a snug fit; please compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements on this page to be sure.
Q: Can I wear this bag on my shoulder? A: Yes, the Cambon Ligne Tote features dual knotted leather handles with a drop of approximately 20 cm. This length is designed for comfortable shoulder carry for most wearers, though it may sit snugly under the arm when worn over thick winter coats.
Q: What is the interior lining like? A: One of the most beloved features of the Cambon Ligne collection is its high-contrast interior. This black tote opens to reveal a vibrant, neon pink logo-jacquard lining, making it easy to find your belongings inside. The interior also features multiple zippered pockets for organisation.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The main compartment is secured with a full-length top zipper, providing excellent security for your valuables while commuting or travelling. There is also an external slip pocket on the back for items you need to access quickly, like a phone or travel card.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted from black quilted calfskin leather, known for its soft feel and durability. It features a large, offset interlocking CC logo in black patent leather for a subtle textural contrast, and is finished with silver-tone hardware.
Q: Is the Cambon Ligne Tote still produced? A: No, the Cambon Ligne collection has been discontinued by Chanel and is no longer available in boutiques. It remains a sought-after style on the vintage market, celebrated for its early 2000s aesthetic and practical design.
Q: When was this specific bag manufactured? A: The serial number tag on this item (13232442) indicates that it was manufactured in Italy between 2009 and 2010.
Q: What is the condition of the handles and leather? A: As noted in our condition report, this vintage piece is in Good condition overall but shows specific signs of wear common to this line. The corners show scuffing, and the leather handles are peeling—a known ageing characteristic of the Cambon Ligne's handle finish. We recommend reviewing the close-up photos to fully appreciate the bag's character.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and patent logo? A: To maintain the leather, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture. Be careful with the patent leather CC logo, as patent leather can absorb ink or dyes from other materials (colour transfer) if left in contact for long periods. Store the bag upright with stuffing to maintain its shape.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item includes its internal serial number tag. It does not come with a dust bag, authenticity card, or box.
