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: Will this fit my 13-inch laptop or tablet? A: The case measures approximately 34 × 23 × 2 cm. It is designed for most 13-inch devices and slim tablets. For best results, compare your device’s measurements to the case and allow a little clearance for the zip and lining, especially if your device has a hard shell or keyboard cover.
Q: Is this a protective case with padding? A: It is a structured, quilted leather sleeve designed to protect from scratches and light bumps during everyday carry. It is not a hard or shockproof case; for heavy-impact protection, use a padded tech sleeve or place it inside a well-padded bag.
Q: What does the serial number starting with 21 indicate? A: Chanel serial numbers beginning with 21 typically correspond to a production window around 2015–2016. Serial numbers help indicate period only and are one of several points used in authentication.
Q: Is the gold-tone hardware real gold-plated? A: Chanel used 24k gold-plated hardware on many pieces up to around late 2008. Newer pieces, including those from the 2010s, usually feature gold-tone finishes without 24k plating. This laptop case is from a later series, so the hardware is gold-tone, not 24k plated.
Q: What leather is this and how do I care for it? A: It is Chanel’s caviar leather (grained calfskin), valued for its textured, durable finish. Wipe gently with a soft, non-pilling cloth to remove dust, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep away from oils, perfumes and colour transfer from dark fabrics. Store upright in a breathable pouch, lightly filled to maintain shape.
Q: Is it waterproof? A: No. Leather is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. If it becomes wet, blot gently with an absorbent cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat sources.
Q: Does it have compartments? A: The interior features one main compartment with a quilted lining and a zip closure. It is ideal for a 13-inch device and slim documents or notepads.
Q: Will A4 documents fit? A: Yes. A4 paper (approximately 29.7 × 21 cm) fits within the approximate internal capacity, provided the case is not overfilled.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included. Please refer to the product information or contact us for clarification.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The interior label states Italy. Chanel produces leather goods in both France and Italy, and country of origin can vary by style and season.
