This Chanel Small Chain Around Hobo Bag in black quilted leather with gold-tone hardware is in very good condition with light traces of use. Featuring a single chain-link and leather shoulder strap and a top zip closure, it is a chic choice for lunch dates, evening outings or adding vintage Chanel elegance to everyday looks.
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 Chain Around Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 18 × 12 × 1 cm, this is a compact style best suited to light essentials such as a cardholder, keys, lipstick, folded notes and small earbuds. Because the profile is very slim, bulkier items and larger wallets are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Will this bag fit a phone? A: It may fit a smaller or very slim phone, but the shallow depth means larger smartphones or chunky cases can be a tight fit. We recommend comparing your phone measurements to the dimensions listed on this page before purchasing.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag has a single chain-link and leather strap with a handle drop of approximately 10 cm, so it is best suited to short-shoulder wear or hand carry. It is not designed as a crossbody style.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. It features a top zip closure, which helps keep smaller valuables secure and makes this style practical for essentials on the go.
Q: What are the main design details of this piece? A: This example is crafted in black quilted leather with gold-tone hardware, a chain-around detail, tonal lining and a small, elegant hobo silhouette. It is also marked as made in Italy in the product information.
Q: Is the Chain Around Hobo considered a classic Chanel style? A: Collectors generally view the Chain Around line as a seasonal Chanel design rather than one of the house's permanent classic lines. That gives it a more distinctive feel and can make it especially appealing to buyers looking for something less commonly seen.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a serial number tag. Everything included with the bag is listed in the product information for this item, so if a box, dust bag or authenticity card is not specifically mentioned, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is listed in very good condition overall, with light traces of use externally and internally. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, and the main logo still has protective plastic in place.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Chanel bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, items are carefully reviewed for authenticity using details such as materials, construction, hardware, stitching and serial identifiers. A serial number tag is a useful supporting detail, but it should always be considered alongside the overall craftsmanship and design characteristics.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, artificial light and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth if needed. For storage, keep it upright in a pouch or dust bag and wrap any chain sections in tissue to help preserve the leather and shape.
