Ideal for weekend escapes and city commutes, the Chanel Deauville MM Tote in black canvas offers effortless polish from brunch to boarding gate. Its spacious, organised interior and chain-detailed handles make it a chic companion for travel, work, or everyday errands.
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 Deauville MM? A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 29 × 15 cm, it comfortably takes A4 documents, a long wallet, sunglasses case, a small water bottle and daily essentials. It can also accommodate most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will my laptop fit, and do I need a sleeve? A: Most 13-inch laptops and some compact 14-inch models will fit thanks to the 34 cm width. The tote is unpadded, so a protective laptop sleeve is recommended to prevent pressure marks and for added security.
Q: How does the bag close and is it secure for commuting? A: It has an open top with a magnetic snap closure. For valuables, use the interior zipped pocket and/or a zipped pouch. When travelling or on public transport, keep the snap fastened and the bag upright against your body.
Q: Is the Deauville MM structured or does it slouch? A: The canvas build has soft sides with a slightly boxy base, so it relaxes with use. A base shaper or organiser can add structure and help the bag stand when partially empty.
Q: Does this style have metal feet on the base? A: Canvas Deauville totes generally do not have metal feet. Place the bag on clean, dry surfaces and consider a base insert to minimise corner wear.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes. It is designed for hand or shoulder carry, with an approximate strap drop of 28 cm noted in the Measurements. It is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: What does the serial number 26****** indicate? A: The 26-series serial number corresponds to a production window around late 2018 to 2019. Serial numbers help date a piece but are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: For this piece, the product information lists a dust bag, an authenticity card and a serial number tag. Only items stated in the product information are included with your purchase.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather details? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils and prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture. To reduce colour transfer, be cautious with dark denim or untreated fabrics. Store stuffed, upright, in its dust bag.
Q: Is it suitable for work or travel? A: Many owners use the Deauville as an everyday or work tote due to its capacity, shoulder carry and easy magnetic snap. For air travel it often works as a personal item, but airline size rules differ, so please check with your carrier.
