Perfect for busy weekdays, this vintage Chanel CC Chain Tote in black leather takes you from morning meetings to dinner with ease. Spacious yet refined, it holds your daily essentials for the office, city errands or a weekend brunch, adding timeless Chanel polish to any look.
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 can I fit inside the Chanel CC Chain Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 25 × 9 cm, it holds a long wallet, phone, small cosmetics pouch, diary, a slim water bottle and documents. A4 papers fit when placed horizontally, and most 13-inch laptops fit in a slim sleeve. Please compare your items to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder comfortably? A: Yes. The dual leather-and-chain handles have an approximate 19 cm drop, so it sits neatly under the shoulder. As with most chain-handled totes, it can feel weighty; using a lightweight organiser and avoiding overfilling improves comfort and balance.
Q: Does this tote have a closure? A: Yes. It features a flap closure with the CC logo and a secure interior zipped pocket for valuables.
Q: Are the straps adjustable or detachable? A: No. The chain-and-leather handles are fixed and not adjustable or detachable; the drop is approximately 19 cm.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If a dust bag, box or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What year does the serial number 10882249 correspond to? A: Chanel 10-series 8-digit serial numbers indicate production in approximately 2005–2006, aligning with the brand’s move to 8‑digit codes in 2005.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, artificial light and humidity. If the bag gets wet, pat dry with a non‑pilling cloth. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with the chains wrapped to prevent imprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes; for deeper work, consult a professional bag spa.
Q: Will the hardware tarnish? A: Ruthenium‑tone finishes can naturally mellow with wear and may show surface dullness or micro‑scratches over time. Sensible storage and limiting moisture and skin contact will slow oxidisation; stubborn issues are best handled by a professional.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect on this vintage piece? A: The exterior is noted as Good with visible corner wear and some leather marks; the interior is Very Good with light traces of use; hardware shows scratches and dullness. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece and can share additional details on request.
