Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel CC Quilted Chain Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 34 x 25 x 10 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a small tablet or slim notebook. Capacity will vary depending on how you organise the interior, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This vintage Chanel tote features dual chain-link and leather shoulder straps, designed for comfortable shoulder carry. The listed handle measurement is 39 cm, giving it the elegant look typical of Chanel chain totes.
Q: What year is this bag from? A: Based on the serial number range provided in the product information, this bag dates to approximately 1989 to 1991. That makes it an early vintage Chanel piece from the late 1980s to early 1990s.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this item includes an authenticity card and serial sticker. If any additional item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is rated Very Good Condition overall. The product information notes light scuffing to the exterior corners, disintegrated padding, light traces of use inside, a light vintage smell, and shiny hardware with light scratches. As with all vintage pieces, these signs of age are part of its character.
Q: Does the authenticity card guarantee authenticity on its own? A: No. For vintage Chanel bags, the authenticity card and serial sticker are important supporting details, and the numbers should correspond, but neither should be relied on in isolation. Authenticity is best assessed through a combination of serial details, materials, stitching, hardware, construction and overall craftsmanship.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, each item is carefully reviewed for authenticity using multiple checkpoints such as leather quality, quilting, hardware, serial details and overall construction. For vintage Chanel pieces, this multi-point approach is especially important, as no single feature should be treated as proof on its own.
Q: How should I care for this vintage quilted leather bag? A: Gently wipe the leather with a soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils or products that may alter the finish. For storage, keep the bag upright, away from direct sunlight and humidity, and protect the chain straps so they do not press into the leather. Vintage leather should be handled gently to help preserve the quilting and shape.
Q: Is it normal for a vintage Chanel bag to show wear such as softened padding or a light vintage smell? A: Yes, these can occur with age and long-term storage, particularly on older leather bags. In this case, the product information specifically notes disintegrated padding and a light vintage smell, so these details should be considered part of the bag’s present condition rather than unexpected flaws.
Q: Why do collectors care about the serial sticker and card on vintage Chanel bags? A: On vintage Chanel pieces, collectors often value the presence of both because they help support the bag’s provenance and can make the item more reassuring to own and resell. Their presence is a positive detail, especially on older bags from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
