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 CC Bicolour Tote Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 32 x 26 x 10 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a small tablet or notebook. It is roomy for everyday use, though it is not the best choice for larger laptops or very bulky work items.
Q: Can this bag be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This tote has dual chain-link and leather shoulder straps and a handle measurement of approximately 37 cm, making it suitable for shoulder carry for most users. As with many chain-strap bags, it may feel heavier if packed very full.
Q: Is this an original vintage Chanel piece, and when was it made? A: Yes, this is a vintage Chanel tote. The serial number begins with 1, which corresponds to the 1989-1991 production period, consistent with the listing details for this item.
Q: What materials and details does this bag have? A: This piece is crafted in bicolour black and white smooth leather with gold-tone hardware. It features a black leather lining, one interior zip pocket and a top zip closure for added security.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: Are any original items included with the bag? A: No included items are listed for this piece. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag or other original item is not mentioned in the product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: How should I care for and store vintage smooth leather? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, heavy rain, prolonged direct sunlight and heat. When not in use, store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag and keep the chains tucked in to help preserve the leather and shape.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel bag like this authenticated? A: Authentication relies on a combination of factors rather than one detail alone, including the serial sticker era, leather quality, stitching, hardware, logo placement and overall construction. At A Retro Tale, vintage items are carefully vetted by in-house experts before being offered for sale.
