With five exterior card slots and a central slip pocket, it keeps essentials organised for city commutes, business lunches and after-hours plans, while the stitched CC lends discreet polish.
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: How many cards does this Chanel card holder comfortably fit? A: This piece features five external slots and one central slip pocket. In everyday use it comfortably holds about 5–6 cards without stretching; you can add one or two more over time, but we recommend avoiding overfilling to help it keep its shape.
Q: Can it hold cash or coins? A: It is designed for cards and slim essentials. You can place a few folded banknotes in the central slip pocket. It is not intended for coins, which can bulk the leather and cause stretching.
Q: What are the measurements and how pocket‑friendly is it? A: Approx. 11 × 7.5 × 0.5 cm. The slim profile slips easily into most trouser pockets and mini bags while keeping a low profile.
Q: Is Chanel’s caviar leather durable and how should I care for it? A: Caviar is a pebbled calfskin known for being more resistant to surface scratches and daily wear than smoother leathers. Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp lint‑free cloth, keep it away from oils/solvents, and store it stuffed lightly to maintain shape, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. For deep cleaning or colour work, consult a leather specialist rather than DIY treatments.
Q: Will the grey caviar leather be prone to colour transfer? A: Lighter leathers can pick up dye from dark fabrics (like new denim), especially with friction or moisture. Caviar is more forgiving than lambskin, but it is not immune. Avoid prolonged contact with damp or dark garments and wipe gently after use if exposed.
Q: What does the serial number 20031235 indicate? A: The 8‑digit code beginning with 20 suggests a production period around 2014–2015, when Chanel used hologram serial stickers and authenticity cards. Since 2021, Chanel has moved to embedded microchips instead of stickers/cards for new items.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section for this listing. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If a box, dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Is this card holder unisex? A: Yes. The minimalist silhouette and compact format make it suitable for any wardrobe and fits neatly into suit, coat or jeans pockets.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, stamps, serial code, hardware and overall craftsmanship by our in‑house experts, using specialist tools where appropriate. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean for this piece? A: It shows light signs of wear consistent with gentle use. The exterior and interior have light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with minor surface scratches. Please review the photos and details for the exact condition.
