Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Medium Patent Chocolate Bar Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 26 x 16.5 x 6 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a few compact items. It is not large enough for a tablet, laptop, or bulkier everyday carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The woven chain and leather strap measures approximately 50 cm. For most people, this style is better suited to shoulder wear rather than crossbody wear.
Q: What does the Chocolate Bar design refer to? A: Chocolate Bar refers to the bag’s stitched rectangular quilting, which resembles squares of a chocolate bar. It gives the bag a structured, graphic look that differs from Chanel’s classic diamond quilting.
Q: Is patent leather durable for everyday use? A: Patent leather is loved for its glossy finish and can be relatively resistant to light rain and minor surface scratches. However, as with most vintage patent bags, it can still develop corner wear, wrinkles, colour transfer, or clouding over time. Black patent is generally one of the easier patent finishes to wear and maintain.
Q: How should I care for this vintage patent leather bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or products that could affect the finish. Try not to overfill the bag, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, and moisture. If it gets damp, blot it carefully with a soft non-pilling cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Store it upright with light stuffing to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is the interior layout of this bag? A: This bag features a black fabric lining, one internal pocket, and a turn-lock flap closure. The layout is compact and practical for keeping small essentials organised.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Only the serial number is listed in the product information for this bag. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other extras were included, they would normally be stated there.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about the bag? A: The serial number is 7164610. As a 7-digit Chanel serial, it places the bag in the early 2000s, which is consistent with its vintage status. As always, serial details should be considered together with materials, hardware, and overall construction when assessing authenticity.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. There is visible wear on the corners, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
