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 is the Chanel Kelly Parent and Child set? A: It is a vintage two-piece set comprising a larger structured top-handle flap and a smaller mini, both with CC turn-lock closures and gold-tone hardware. The style is popularly nicknamed the Chanel "Kelly" for its ladylike silhouette; it is a Chanel design and not affiliated with Hermès.
Q: Can the two bags be used separately or together? A: Each bag has its own top handle and can be carried on its own. Some vintage sets were originally paired with a gold-tone clip that links the mini to the larger bag; inclusion varies by set. Please review the photos and the product information on this page to see exactly what accompanies this item.
Q: Does this set include a shoulder strap or crossbody option? A: This design is intended for handheld carry only. There is no shoulder strap listed for this item and no strap measurement provided. For the long-term health of the leather, we do not recommend attaching aftermarket chains or clasps to the handle.
Q: What typically fits inside the larger bag and the smaller bag? A: Based on the posted measurements, the larger bag comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or card holder, keys and a few cosmetics. The smaller bag suits compact items like cards, folded notes, a key and lipstick. Capacity varies by how you pack; please compare the dimensions with your own items.
Q: What does serial number 3061784 indicate? A: Chanel serial numbers beginning with 3xxxxx correspond to production circa 1994–1996. This piece also carries a Made in France label, consistent with the period.
Q: How should I care for the dark brown lambskin? A: Keep the leather away from prolonged light, heat and humidity, and avoid contact with liquids and colour-transfer-prone textiles. To reduce the look of light marks on lambskin, gently buff with a soft, clean cloth in small circular motions. Store the bags upright in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed to support their shape, and prevent hardware from pressing into the leather. For deep cleaning or restoration, consult Chanel Client Care or a reputable handbag specialist.
Q: Will Chanel service or repair this vintage set? A: Chanel’s Client Care (Chanel & moi) offers services subject to in-person assessment and availability of parts. Policies and warranty coverage differ from items purchased new at Chanel; for older vintage pieces, some cosmetic refinishing may be limited, while many structural repairs may still be possible. If boutique service is unavailable, experienced third-party handbag specialists can assist.
Q: Are there any condition notes I should be aware of? A: Yes. We grade this set as Good. The handle on the smaller bag shows visible cracks and scuffing; the interior shows light traces of use; the hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for full detail.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This item comes with a dust bag, authenticity card and serial number tag. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if an item such as the original box is not listed there, it is not included.
