The fit can vary slightly depending on your frame and clothing, so it is best suited to those who prefer a close shoulder fit.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: Yes. The serial number series places this piece in the 1997 to 1999 period, making it a genuine vintage Chanel bag from the late 1990s.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes an authenticity card and serial number tag. Everything included with the bag is listed under the product information section. If something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Does a matching serial number and authenticity card guarantee authenticity? A: A matching serial number and authenticity card are positive signs, but they should never be the only factors considered. Authenticity is best confirmed through a full assessment of the bag’s construction, materials, hardware, logo details, and serial features together. This item has been professionally vetted by A Retro Tale.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as Good Condition. Externally, there are light traces of use and light fraying on the logo. Internally, there are light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is a vintage Chanel chain tote practical for everyday use? A: Yes, many collectors and buyers choose Chanel totes for everyday wear because they offer a roomy shape with an elegant look. This style works especially well if you want a classic vintage bag that can hold more than a compact shoulder bag while still feeling refined.
Q: How should I care for and store this vintage Chanel bag? A: To help preserve the bag, avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, artificial light, and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. When storing, keep it upright and lightly supported with tissue paper, with the chain protected so it does not press into the leather. As with most vintage leather bags, gentle handling will help maintain its shape and finish over time.
