Ideal for workdays, meetings or travel, it offers a sleek way to carry a slim tablet, documents or a notebook while bringing a refined Chanel finish to everyday organisation.
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 Patent Brilliant iPad Case? A: With approximate measurements of 26 x 22 cm, it is best suited to an older full-size iPad or a similarly sized slim tablet, as well as documents or a small notebook. For the safest fit, compare your device’s full measurements, including any cover already on it, with the measurements shown on this page.
Q: Will it fit newer iPad models? A: Not necessarily. This is a vintage sleeve-style piece from the early iPad era, so fit for newer models is not guaranteed. It is usually best for slimmer devices, while thicker protective shells or keyboard covers may make the fit too snug.
Q: Does it close with a zip or flap? A: No, this piece has an open-top design, so the device slides in from the top for quick access. It works more like a slim luxury sleeve than a rigid, fully enclosed case.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes the serial number tag. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag or any other extras are not listed in the product information, they are not included with the item.
Q: What condition is it in? A: It is listed in good vintage condition with light traces of use to both the exterior and interior. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle previous wear.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Patent leather has a glossy finish but should still be treated gently. Wipe it carefully with a soft dry or barely damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and dark fabrics that may transfer colour onto the surface.
Q: Can vintage patent leather become sticky or marked over time? A: It can. Like many vintage patent pieces, it may become more sensitive to heat, humidity, friction and colour transfer as it ages. Storing it in a cool, dry place and avoiding contact with heavy dyes or rough surfaces will help preserve the finish.
Q: Can this be used for anything other than an iPad? A: Yes, many buyers use this style as a slim document pouch or organiser for papers, a small notebook or a similarly sized tablet. Because it is flat and streamlined, it is best for slim essentials rather than bulky items.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: The product information lists a serial beginning with 15 and dates the piece to 2011. On Chanel items from this period, the serial is one helpful indicator of age and authenticity, but it should always be considered alongside the materials, construction and overall craftsmanship.
