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 Small Caviar CC Tote Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 30 x 23 x 12 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetic pouch, and a compact notebook or tablet. It is best for everyday necessities rather than bulkier work items.
Q: Can this tote be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features dual flat shoulder straps with an approximate 27 cm drop, so it is designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder for everyday wear.
Q: Does this bag fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: It is not the best choice for most laptops, and A4 papers will be a tight fit at best. Based on the measurements, it is better suited to smaller daily essentials than office-sized items.
Q: What interior organisation does this bag have? A: The bag has a tonal lining and one internal zip pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller valuables such as cards, keys, or other essentials neatly separated.
Q: Is caviar leather a practical choice for everyday use? A: Yes. Chanel caviar leather is especially popular for everyday use because its textured finish tends to be more resistant to visible scratches and regular wear than smoother leathers. It is still best treated with care, especially around moisture, heat, and colour transfer.
Q: How should I care for vintage caviar leather? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, wipe it gently with a soft cloth, and store it upright in a pouch or dust bag with light stuffing to help preserve its shape.
Q: What does serial number 5064095 tell me? A: This item has a 7-digit Chanel serial number. Chanel 5-series numbers are generally associated with production in the late 1990s, commonly around 1997 to 1999. As with all Chanel pieces, the serial number is one dating clue and should be considered alongside the bag’s materials, construction, and hardware.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information notes the serial number. No authenticity card or box is listed, so they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light traces of use with small marks, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches.
