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 Vintage CC Bowler Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 29 x 22 x 13 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. There is also room for a few extras, but it is not designed for bulky items.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: A compact tablet or e-reader may fit depending on its case and the shape of the zip opening, but laptops and most A4 documents are not recommended. It works best as an everyday handbag rather than a work bag.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This model has dual handles with an approximate 12 cm drop, so it is primarily intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. It is not listed with a shoulder strap or crossbody option.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a black leather lining with two internal pockets, which is useful for keeping smaller essentials separate from the main compartment. The top zip closure also helps keep everything secure.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows scuffing on the handles and corners, along with marks on the leather, while the interior has light traces of use and cracking inside the bag. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does the bag come with any extras? A: No extra items are noted for this piece. Everything included with the sale should be considered limited to what is shown and described in the product information.
Q: Is it a problem that no serial number or authenticity card is listed? A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel pieces, serial stickers and cards can become detached or be lost over time. They can help with dating and supporting authentication, but specialists also assess materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction. This item has been authenticated by A Retro Tale's in-house experts.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel leather? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, prolonged sunlight, moisture and rubbing against dark or colour-transfer-prone fabrics. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh care products, and store it upright with light stuffing in a breathable pouch or dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: Yes, it is a practical medium-sized shape for day-to-day essentials and its zip-top design makes it easy to use. As it is a vintage piece with visible wear and interior cracking, it is best suited to careful regular use rather than heavy daily commuting.
