Very Good Condition
Perfect for city breaks, smart lunches and refined evenings, this vintage Chanel Triple CC shoulder bag in beige caviar leather with gold-tone hardware brings effortless polish. The single chain-detailed shoulder strap and organised interior make day-to-night styling simple, pairing beautifully with neutral and pastel looks from brunch to dinner.
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 bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 25 × 10 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella or 500 ml water bottle. A slim tablet up to around 11 inches can fit in the main compartment, depending on its case. Capacity varies with how you organise your items—please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a laptop? A: A4 papers or folders (29.7 cm tall) generally do not fit upright due to the 25 cm height. Some A4 sheets may slide in horizontally or diagonally but it won’t be a comfortable everyday fit. Most 13-inch laptops will not fit; smaller tablets are a better match.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: This vintage model features a single fixed-length shoulder strap with chain‑link details. With an approximate drop of 37 cm, it is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody.
Q: What does “Triple CC” refer to on this style? A: The style takes its name from the three interlocking CC logos featured as design detailing on the exterior, giving the bag its distinctive Chanel signature.
Q: What is Caviar leather and how does it wear? A: Chanel’s Caviar leather is a grained calfskin with a pebbled texture. It is well known for being more resistant to surface scratches and for holding its shape better than smoother leathers, making it an excellent choice for frequent use.
Q: How should I care for light‑coloured Caviar leather like this beige? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp, lint‑free cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol wipes, and abrasive sponges. Minimise contact with dark or unwashed denim to reduce colour transfer, especially on lighter shades. Store the bag stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: What year was this bag produced based on the serial number 3043651? A: A 3‑series Chanel serial number dates the piece to the mid‑1990s, approximately 1994–1996.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware real gold? A: Many Chanel bags from the 1980s through 2008 were produced with 24k gold‑plated hardware. As this piece dates to the mid‑1990s, the hardware was typically plated in that era; however, we describe it as gold‑tone and, without laboratory testing, do not guarantee plating on a specific item.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece includes the serial number tag. Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page; if an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
