This vintage Chanel CC Chain Tote Bag in black caviar leather with gold-tone hardware offers timeless everyday elegance. In very good vintage condition overall, it features dual chain-and-leather shoulder straps, a front flap pocket with CC turn-lock closure, and a black leather-lined interior with internal pockets. Ideal for daily wear or polished city outings.
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 Caviar Chain Tote Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 29 x 22 x 8 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, card holder, sunglasses and a few small beauty items. It is best for an organised everyday carry rather than bulky belongings.
Q: Will this bag fit a laptop or tablet? A: It is unlikely to fit most 13-inch laptops comfortably, as the bag is 29 cm wide and relatively slim. A small tablet or e-reader is a more realistic fit. We always recommend comparing your device to the listed measurements before purchasing.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This style is designed for shoulder carry with its dual chain-and-leather straps. It is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather a practical choice for everyday use? A: Yes. Caviar leather is widely appreciated for its textured finish and structured feel, which tends to be more forgiving in day-to-day use than smooth leather. As this is a vintage piece, it should still be handled with care and stored properly.
Q: What is the front CC turn-lock pocket useful for? A: The front flap pocket is ideal for slim essentials you may want to reach quickly, such as cards, receipts or other flat items. To help preserve the shape, it is best not to overfill this compartment.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: This bag features a black leather lining with internal pockets, which helps keep smaller essentials separate while leaving the main space free for everyday items.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is listed in very good vintage condition overall. The exterior shows scuffing to the corners and scratching on the leather, the interior has stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information notes a serial number. If an item such as a box, dust bag or authenticity card is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage caviar leather and hardware? A: Gently wipe the bag with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid heavy rain, oils and prolonged direct heat, and store it upright with light stuffing inside to help maintain its shape. It is also best to avoid leaving the chain straps pressed against the leather for long periods.
Q: How is authenticity typically assessed on a vintage Chanel bag? A: Authenticity should always be judged as a whole. Leather quality, stitching, hardware, branding details and serial information all matter together. A serial sticker is helpful, but it is only one part of the overall assessment.
