Q: What year is this bag from? A: The serial number range 6****** dates this bag to approximately 2000 to 2002, placing it in the early 2000s vintage Chanel period.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes the serial number tag. Everything included is listed in the product information. If an accessory is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel lambskin? A: Vintage lambskin is soft and luxurious, but it benefits from gentle care. We recommend avoiding rain, prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat and overfilling. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and lightly stuff it when not in use to help maintain its shape. For cleaning, use only very gentle methods suitable for delicate leather.

Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully vetted by our in-house experts. For vintage Chanel, authentication typically involves checking details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, markings and serial features alongside the overall consistency of the piece.
