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 Chain Tote Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 37 x 30 x 8 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch and slim documents. A slim tablet or small laptop may fit depending on its exact dimensions and sleeve, so we recommend comparing your item to the Measurements shown on this page.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This tote has dual chain-link and leather shoulder straps with an approximate handle drop of 19 cm, so it is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: Is the bag fully zipped? A: No. This vintage Chanel tote has a magnetic snap closure, which offers quick access while leaving the top more open than a fully zipped style.
Q: What does the serial number era tell me? A: The serial number tag begins with 0 and is dated to 1986 - 1988, placing this bag in Chanel’s early 7-digit serial era. For vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number helps indicate the production period, but it is only one part of the authentication process.
Q: Does it come with an authenticity card, box or dust bag? A: This item is listed with a serial number tag in the product information. If an authenticity card, box or dust bag is not listed in the product information on this page, it is not included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in good condition. The exterior shows visible scratches and rubbing on the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all photos carefully for the clearest view of the vintage wear.
Q: Are chain straps comfortable for daily use? A: Many buyers like Chanel chain totes for everyday wear, but comfort depends on how much you carry. This style is usually comfortable for normal daily essentials, while overfilling can make the chain feel heavier on the shoulder over time.
Q: How should I care for vintage quilted leather and gold-tone hardware? A: Store the bag upright and lightly stuffed, avoid overfilling, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils or abrasive products, as they can affect the leather finish and hardware.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, quilting, hardware, stamps and serial details. For vintage Chanel, the serial number tag supports the dating, but authenticity is never judged on the tag alone.
