Good Condition
This vintage Chanel camera bag in beige vertical quilted lambskin with gold-tone hardware offers classic charm in good condition. Finished with a chain and leather interwoven shoulder strap and top zip closure, it is ideal for lunch dates, city outings or adding a refined touch to everyday wear.
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 this Chanel camera bag? A: With measurements of approximately 23 x 17 x 7.5 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, and a few small personal items. It is a practical compact shoulder bag rather than a large day bag.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap measurement is approximately 60 cm, so it will usually work well as a long shoulder bag and may sit crossbody on many people. The exact fit depends on your height and where you like the bag to sit.
Q: Is Chanel lambskin a durable choice for everyday use? A: Lambskin is prized for its soft, smooth and luxurious feel, but it is more delicate than more heavily grained leathers. It can show scratches, rubbing and colour transfer more easily, so it is best for careful everyday use rather than very rough wear.
Q: How should I care for this beige lambskin bag? A: Handle it with clean hands, avoid rain, rough surfaces, and dark clothing that may cause colour transfer. Store it gently stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it in a breathable dust bag when not in use. For light surface marks, use a soft dry cloth and gentle motions only.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: It is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows minor rubbing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: The product information lists the serial number. An authenticity card, box, or dust bag is not noted in the listing, so those should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed separately.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: Yes. This bag is described as vintage, and its 7-digit serial number beginning with 2 is generally associated with an early-1990s production window. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, that date should be understood as approximate rather than exact.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel bag like this usually authenticated? A: For vintage Chanel, the serial number is only one part of the process. Authenticity is typically assessed by looking at the serial sticker, leather quality, quilting, stitching, hardware, interior details, and overall construction together rather than relying on a single feature alone.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin listed for this piece is France, which is consistent with many vintage Chanel bags from this era.
