Very Good Condition
Perfect for evenings out, polished workdays and travel, this black Chanel card holder adds subtle luxury while keeping essentials streamlined. The elegant camellia motif and gold‑tone accents elevate any look, and its slim profile slips easily into a clutch, mini bag or tailored pocket—ideal for dinners, meetings or a weekend city break.
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: How many cards does the Chanel Camelia Card Holder hold comfortably? A: It has three exterior card slots and one centre pocket. Most users find it comfortably holds around 4–6 standard cards; adding more or stuffing receipts can stretch the leather over time.
Q: Can I carry cash or coins in it? A: Folded banknotes fit neatly in the centre pocket. Coins add bulk and may distort the shape, so a separate coin pouch is recommended.
Q: What are the dimensions and will it fit in small bags or pockets? A: Approx. 11 × 7.5 × 0.3 cm. The slim silhouette is ideal for mini bags, clutches and coat pockets while keeping essentials organised.
Q: Is it RFID-blocking? A: Chanel card holders are not advertised as RFID‑blocking. If you prefer extra shielding, place a slim RFID‑blocking card beside your contactless cards; this adds minimal thickness and is a practical alternative. Most everyday users consider RFID skimming risk very low.
Q: How should I care for the embossed leather and hardware? A: Wipe with a soft, non‑pilling cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture. If it gets wet, blot dry gently and allow it to air‑dry. Store in a breathable dust bag and avoid overfilling to minimise stretching. If your piece is lambskin, light circular rubbing can help reduce the look of minor surface marks. For deeper care, consult a leather specialist.
Q: What does the serial number 16839524 indicate? A: The 16‑series serial points to a production period around 2012. A serial number dates the production window only; it is not a style code and does not by itself confirm authenticity.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If a dust bag, box or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to double‑check.
Q: Where was this card holder made? A: Italy, as indicated on the country of origin label.
Q: What is the camellia design? A: The leather is embossed with Chanel’s camellia motif, a signature house flower, giving the surface a refined, tactile finish that elevates this compact everyday essential.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share further details on request.
