This vintage Chanel Mini CC Barrel Tassel Bag in beige quilted leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition.

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 the Chanel Mini CC Barrel Tassel Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 17 x 12 x 6 cm, it is best for small daily essentials such as most standard smartphones, a card holder, keys, lipstick and a few compact extras. It is a true mini style, so bulkier purses or larger items will not fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The product information lists a 44 cm strap measurement. Because fit varies by height and how you prefer a bag to sit, we recommend comparing that measurement with a bag you already own. It is best bought as a compact chain-strap style rather than assuming a roomy crossbody fit.
Q: What are the main design details of this bag? A: This vintage Chanel piece features beige quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, a single chain shoulder strap, tonal leather lining, a top zip closure and the signature tassel detail.
Q: Is beige vintage leather difficult to look after? A: Light-coloured leather can show marks and colour transfer more easily than darker tones, so it is best to avoid friction against dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics and to handle it with clean, dry hands.
Q: How should I store and care for this bag? A: Do not overfill it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and humidity, and store it upright in a breathable pouch with the chain protected so it does not press into the leather. For routine care, use a soft cloth and only very gentle products suitable for delicate leather.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: The bag has serial number 0757320 listed in the product information. Chanel serial stickers began in the mid-1980s, and 7-digit stickers belong to the brand’s early vintage sticker era, so the number helps support the bag’s approximate production period rather than proving authenticity by itself.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel bag like this authenticated? A: Authentication should look at the full package: serial sticker, leather quality, stitching, hardware, logo details, lining and overall construction. A serial number is useful, but reputable authentication guidance agrees it should never be the only checkpoint.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use on the exterior, some stains inside the pocket, and shiny hardware showing light scratches with minor tarnishing.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label for this piece is Italy.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information confirms the serial number. No other included items are specified in the product information for this listing, so if you would like to confirm anything further, it is best to check with customer care before purchase.
