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 Suede Round Chain Bag? A: With approximate internal dimensions of 20 × 20 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys and a couple of small cosmetics. There is an internal zipped pocket for valuables. Because of the round silhouette and tasselled top zip, the opening is modest—compact items pack best.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or detachable? A: No. This vintage model features a single interwoven chain-and-leather shoulder strap that is fixed and non‑adjustable. The strap drop is approximately 40 cm as listed.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The 40 cm drop is designed primarily for shoulder carry. Depending on your height and build, it may sit as a high crossbody, but for most it will be a comfortable shoulder bag. Comparing the strap measurement to a bag you already own is the best guide.
Q: What production period does the serial number indicate? A: The serial number 0292049 corresponds to Chanel’s 0‑series, dating roughly to 1986–1988. Serial numbers help date a piece but do not specify the exact model or factory.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece includes its interior serial number tag. Any extras such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box are only included if listed under Accessories; for this item, they are not listed.
Q: How should I care for the raspberry suede? A: Keep suede away from rain and humidity, and avoid overfilling the bag. Before first use and periodically, apply a suede‑specific protector (patch‑test in a discreet spot). Gently brush the nap with a soft suede brush and use a suede eraser for light marks. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, out of direct sunlight.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with this material? A: Yes. Suede can absorb dye from dark clothing (especially new denim), and richly dyed suedes may also transfer onto light garments. Minimise risk by keeping the bag dry, avoiding prolonged contact with dark fabrics and rotating carry positions. If contact occurs, do not rub—let the area dry and then gently brush the nap.
Q: Can I clean stains at home? A: For light, dry marks, use a suede brush or eraser, working in one direction with the nap. Do not use water or general leather cleaners. For liquid or stubborn stains, blot gently, allow to air dry away from heat, then consult a professional suede specialist or handbag spa.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect on this vintage piece? A: It is graded in Good condition with scuffing and some discolouration to the suede exterior, small marks at the lining and hardware that remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and Measurements for full details.
