Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel GST Grand Shopping Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 33 x 25 x 13.5 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses case, keys, notebook, compact cosmetics pouch and small water bottle. The open top with central zip compartment and exterior back slip pocket also help keep items organised. Please refer to the Measurements in the product information for the best guide to capacity.
Q: Can this bag be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This GST features chain-link and leather shoulder straps with an approximate strap drop of 24 cm, which is generally comfortable for shoulder wear. Fit can vary depending on your frame and what you are wearing, so comparing the strap drop with a favourite bag you already own is often the easiest way to judge.
Q: Will a laptop fit inside this bag? A: A slim small laptop or tablet may fit depending on its exact dimensions and whether it is in a bulky sleeve, but this style is best thought of as a structured everyday tote rather than a dedicated work bag. If you plan to carry a laptop regularly, we recommend checking your device measurements carefully against the bag dimensions in the product information.
Q: Is the Chanel GST a discontinued style? A: Yes. The Grand Shopping Tote is a discontinued Chanel model that remains especially popular on the pre-owned and vintage market. Many collectors appreciate it for its practical tote shape, structured silhouette and classic Chanel details.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted in beige caviar leather with gold-tone hardware. Caviar leather is loved for its textured finish and durability, making it a popular choice for everyday use compared with more delicate smooth leathers.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in good condition with light trace of use. The exterior and interior are both noted as good with light trace of use, while the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage items, minor signs of age and previous wear should be expected.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. Everything included with the purchase is shown in the product information. If an item such as a box or authenticity card is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is a serial number or authenticity card included? A: The serial number is not listed in the product information, and an authenticity card is not listed as an included accessory for this item. For vintage Chanel pieces, authenticity is assessed through the overall construction, materials, hardware, interior details and other identifying features rather than relying on a single element alone.
Q: How should I care for beige caviar leather? A: Caviar leather is relatively low-maintenance, but it should still be handled with care. Wipe gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, moisture and dark denim or other materials that may transfer colour. When not in use, store it in its dust bag and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity by in-house experts, supported by a structured authentication process. With vintage Chanel, experts assess the bag as a whole, including craftsmanship, materials, stitching, hardware and interior details, rather than depending on only one feature.
