Chanel Matelasse Card Holder

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Matelasse Card Holder?
A: This slim card holder is best for everyday essentials rather than bulk. With measurements of 11 × 7.5 × 1 cm, it is ideal for several cards or IDs, plus a few folded notes or receipts. Overfilling may stretch the leather and loosen the slots over time.

Q: Can it be used as a small wallet?
A: Yes. Many people use Chanel card holders as a compact alternative to a full wallet, especially for mini bags or evenings out. It works best if you mainly carry cards and only a small amount of folded cash.

Q: Can it hold coins?
A: Coins are not recommended for this style. As it is designed primarily for cards and flat paper items, loose coins can create pressure on the lining and add unnecessary wear.

Q: Will it fit inside a mini bag or coat pocket?
A: Yes. Its compact shape makes it easy to slip into most mini bags, evening bags and many coat or jacket pockets. Please compare it with the Measurements in the product information if you want to check a specific bag.
