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 Card Holder on Chain? A: With approximate dimensions of 10.5 × 7 × 1 cm, it comfortably holds an ID in the clear window, 1–2 extra bank cards, and a few folded notes. A slim key or travel card may fit, but bulky items will distort the shape.
Q: Is the chain strap removable or adjustable? A: The design features a retractable leather-and-chain interwoven strap that tucks neatly inside when not in use. It is not intended to be detached or length-adjusted. The strap length on this piece is approximately 38 cm; please refer to the Measurements to assess your preferred carry.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody or around the neck? A: Due to the compact size and strap length, most users wear it necklace-style, as a short shoulder carry, or hand-held. Crossbody wear may not be feasible for all heights—please compare the listed strap length with your frame.
Q: Does it fit a smartphone, keys, or lipstick? A: It does not fit smartphones. It is best for flat essentials only; a very slim house key may fit, but coins or lipstick can add bulk and are not recommended for regular use.
Q: How many cards can it hold? A: It includes one card slot with a clear window and space for 1–2 additional flat cards if desired. Overfilling can stretch the leather and lining over time.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, authenticity card, and serial number tag. If an accessory is not listed in the Accessories section, it is not included.
Q: What does the serial number indicate, and how do you authenticate it? A: The serial number (31595670) and associated markers help identify the piece. Chanel has used different anti-counterfeit systems over the years; our in-house experts verify materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and codes before listing. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and silver-tone hardware? A: Wipe leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid oils, alcohol-based products and prolonged sunlight or moisture. Store it lightly filled in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. For hardware, use a dry microfiber cloth only—no metal polishes.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Yes. The minimalist profile and black colour make it a versatile choice for any wardrobe.
Q: How does this differ from a Wallet on Chain (WOC)? A: A WOC is a small handbag with multiple compartments and a full-length crossbody chain. The Card Holder on Chain is an ultra-compact SLG designed for cards and slim essentials, with a shorter retractable strap.
