From airport lounge to hotel lobby, the black quilted finish delivers effortless sophistication for refined travel.
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 Diamond Stitch Quilted Weekend Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 60 × 23 cm, it’s ideal for short trips: a 15–16-inch laptop (in a slim sleeve), A4 documents, a change of shoes, 1–2 outfits, toiletries in a zip pouch, sunglasses, a full-size wallet and small tech accessories. To keep the silhouette tidy, pack heavier items at the base and use pouches; there’s an internal zipped pocket for valuables.
Q: Will it qualify as airline cabin baggage? A: Many airlines follow carry-on guidelines close to 56 × 45 × 25 cm. At 60 cm in length, this duffle often exceeds those limits and may need to be checked, depending on the carrier, aircraft and how full the bag is. Always verify your specific airline’s rules before travelling; soft duffles are sometimes accepted when not overfilled, but this is at the airline’s discretion.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and what are the carry options? A: This piece includes dual rolled top handles (approx. 14 cm drop) and a detachable shoulder strap (approx. 46 cm drop). The strap is comfortable for shoulder carry and may wear as a high crossbody on some petite frames; most users will find it best as a hand/shoulder duffle rather than a true crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a top zip closure for everyday security. Inside you’ll find black leather lining and one internal zipped pocket to organise smaller items. The wide opening makes packing easy while the structured base helps it keep shape.
Q: What does the serial number 2731856 indicate? A: This is a 7‑digit Chanel serial beginning with “2,” dating the bag to approximately 1991–1994. This aligns with the vintage era of the Diamond Stitch travel/duffle styles and complements the included authenticity card and serial tag on this piece.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware real gold? A: Chanel used 24‑carat gold plating on much of its gold‑tone hardware until around late 2008. Given this bag’s early‑1990s production window, its hardware is consistent with that earlier plating era. As with all vintage hardware, fine hairline scratches are normal and part of gentle wear.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and hardware? A: Keep the leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe with a clean, soft cloth; avoid harsh cleaners. If lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Store upright in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed to maintain shape, and wrap/pad the strap and hardware to prevent impressions and surface marks.
Q: Is this model still produced? A: The Diamond Stitch weekender/duffle configuration is considered vintage. Availability today is primarily via the pre‑loved market, and details may vary slightly by production year.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific item? A: As listed under “Accessories,” this bag comes with an authenticity card, a detachable shoulder strap, a luggage tag and a serial number tag. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there (e.g., box or dust bag), it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm anything specific.
Q: Any packing or storage tips to keep it looking its best? A: For travel, use pouches to protect the lining and keep essentials tidy. For storage, keep it upright, lightly stuffed (acid‑free tissue), and away from direct light and humidity. Wrap the strap and protect hardware with soft cloth to minimise imprints and micro‑scratches. Avoid hanging the bag for long periods to preserve the handles and structure.
