Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Drawstring Bucket Bag in red quilted caviar leather with gold-tone hardware offers a timeless statement. In very good condition, it features a single flat shoulder strap, red leather lining and a drawstring closure. Ideal for lunches, city outings or evenings out, it adds classic Chanel charm to both casual and polished looks.
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 this Chanel Caviar Drawstring Bucket Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 23 x 20 x 14 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and a compact pouch. Its bucket shape is practical, but it is not ideal for larger items such as a laptop, tablet in a bulky case or A4 documents.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is listed as 53 cm, so it is generally best suited to shoulder wear. Depending on your height and styling preference, it may sit low on the body, but it is not primarily designed as a true crossbody bag.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather durable for everyday use? A: Yes. Chanel caviar leather is known for its textured, grained finish, which generally resists scratches and everyday wear better than smoother leathers. It also tends to hold its shape well, making it a popular choice for regular use, though it should still be handled with care as it is not completely scratch-proof.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure? A: The drawstring closure keeps the contents gathered and makes the bag easy to open and close. It is practical for everyday essentials, but it is not as fully sealed as a zip-top bag, so it is best not to overfill it and to keep valuables placed securely inside.
Q: How should I care for vintage caviar leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and dark fabrics that may transfer colour. For storage, keep it upright, lightly stuffed and protected in a pouch or dust bag. For interior stains or deeper cleaning, professional leather care is recommended.
Q: What condition should I expect from this item? A: This bag is listed in very good condition. The product information notes visible rubbing on the corners, minor scratches to the leather, a stain on the inside, and light scratches to the hardware. This is consistent with a well-kept vintage bag that has been previously used.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: The product information states that no additional items are included with this piece. If you would like to confirm whether anything else is present, it is best to check directly with the retailer before purchase.
Q: Can a vintage Chanel bag still be authentic without an authenticity card or a readable serial number? A: Yes. Vintage Chanel bags can still be authentic even if the card is missing or the serial sticker is faded or unreadable. These details are helpful, but they are only part of the authentication process. Materials, stitching, hardware, construction and provenance are also important. No serial number is listed in the product information for this item.
