This vintage Chanel CC Boston bag in caviar leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in good condition.

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 CC Caviar Chain Boston Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 x 28 x 15 cm, this bag works well for everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and other daily items. It may also accommodate a small tablet or light extra layer, though the rounded zip-top shape makes very bulky items less practical.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features chain-and-leather shoulder straps with an approximate 27 cm drop, which generally allows comfortable shoulder wear. The fit can vary slightly depending on what you are wearing.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather good for everyday use? A: Generally, yes. Chanel caviar leather is a grained calfskin known for being more structured and more resistant to scratches than smoother leathers such as lambskin. That makes it a practical choice for regular use, although a vintage piece should still be handled with care.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, avoid overfilling, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. It is also wise to avoid prolonged contact with dark fabrics, as colour transfer can occur. For deeper cleaning or restoration, use a professional leather specialist.
Q: What does the serial number 5328439 tell me? A: Because this is a 7-digit Chanel serial number beginning with 5, it is generally associated with the late 1990s, around 1997 to 1999. It is useful for dating the bag, but it does not identify the exact day or month of production.
Q: Is the serial number alone enough to confirm authenticity? A: No. A serial number is only one part of the authentication picture. It should be considered alongside the leather, stitching, hardware, logo details, lining, and overall construction of the bag.
Q: What condition should I expect from this bag? A: This bag is listed in good condition. The exterior shows visible wear and scuffing on the corners, there is rubbing on the leather interwoven in the chain, the interior has stains on the bottom, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: The product information lists the serial number. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It is better suited to everyday essentials and a tablet than to a larger laptop. A very slim small laptop may fit by measurement, but the structured Boston shape and zip opening can make it less convenient for bulkier computers.
