Finished with a single flat top handle and zip-around closure, it is a chic choice for weekends away, travel essentials or adding a playful archival touch to city looks.
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 PVC Vanity Case? A: With approximate measurements of 17 × 15 × 13 cm, this compact vanity case is best for small daily or beauty essentials such as cards, keys, lipstick, a compact, mini perfume, earbuds and other small items. It may also fit many smartphones depending on the model and case, but it is not ideal for bulkier belongings or a large continental wallet.
Q: Is this vanity case meant to be used as a handbag or a cosmetic case? A: It can work as either. Chanel vanity styles are often used as small handbags as well as beauty cases, and this piece has the structured, boxy silhouette collectors look for. As this item features a single flat top handle and no shoulder strap is listed in the product information, it is best carried by hand.
Q: Can this case fit a phone? A: It may fit many compact and standard smartphones, especially when placed carefully inside the structured body, but this depends on the exact phone size and case thickness. If carrying a phone is essential for you, compare your handset measurements with the dimensions on this page before purchasing.
Q: Does this Chanel vanity case have a shoulder strap? A: No shoulder strap is listed in the product information for this piece. The design details note a single flat top handle, so this item should be considered a top-handle vanity case rather than a crossbody style.
Q: How should I care for the clear PVC exterior? A: Clear PVC should be handled gently. Wipe it with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaning products, alcohol-based cleaners, rough friction and prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight. It is also wise to keep it away from dark fabrics, inks and oils that may transfer onto the clear material.
Q: Can clear PVC become cloudy, scratched or yellow over time? A: Yes. Clear PVC can develop surface scratches, haze or yellowing with age, especially if exposed to sunlight, heat, humidity or colour transfer. That is a normal consideration with vintage clear materials, which is why careful storage in a cool, dry place and light handling are recommended.
Q: What does the serial number 3449835 tell me? A: Chanel serial number 3449835 is a 7-digit 3-series code, which generally places production in the mid-1990s, around 1994 to 1996. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is useful for dating the item, but it should always be considered alongside the materials, construction and hardware details.
Q: What product information is included with this item, and what is its condition? A: According to the product information, this item includes a serial number tag and dust bag. It is described as being in very good overall condition, with scratches to the leather parts, light traces of use inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches.
