Delivery & Returns
Q: What fits inside this Chanel Raffia Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 41 × 22 × 12 cm, it is well suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and a slim tablet or notebook. For the best guide to capacity, please refer to the Measurements in the product information.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features dual interwoven chain and leather shoulder straps with an approximate handle drop of 22 cm, so it is designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder or be carried on the arm. It is not a crossbody style.
Q: Is raffia a practical material for regular use? A: Raffia is lightweight and gives the bag its distinctive textured look, but it is generally more delicate than full leather. It is best treated with a little extra care and not overfilled, especially for regular use. The leather trim helps add structure and durability.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel raffia bag? A: Handle it gently and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture and rough surfaces. For light cleaning, use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and dab rather than rub. If it gets wet, blot it and let it air dry naturally away from direct heat. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable pouch or dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is inside the bag? A: According to the product information, it has a black fabric lining, one internal pocket and an interlocking CC turn-lock closure, giving you secure storage for small essentials.
Q: What does the serial number indicate? A: The product information lists a 10-series serial number, which corresponds to production around 2005 to 2006. On vintage Chanel bags, the serial number is an important dating and authentication detail.
Q: How can I assess authenticity on a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: On vintage Chanel, authenticity is assessed through a combination of serial number, construction, materials, stitching, hardware, logo details and overall finish. The serial number is important, but it should always be considered alongside the bag’s full craftsmanship details.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use with a snag on the back, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This is typical for a well-kept vintage piece.
Q: Does this item come with an authenticity card, box or dust bag? A: Please check the product information for what is included with this specific item. For this piece, the listed detail is the serial number. If an authenticity card, box or dust bag is not stated in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
