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 Chloé Hayley Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 30 × 11 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, compact wallet or small continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, AirPods and a small cosmetics pouch. A 330 ml water bottle may fit; a 500 ml bottle is usually too tall to sit upright under the zip. An iPad mini–sized tablet fits; 11‑inch tablets and A4 documents generally do not fit flat. If you’d like a tailored fit check, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. This piece has dual top handles (approx. 11 cm drop) for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap listed at about 45 cm drop. That length is ideal for shoulder wear and gives a high crossbody on many wearers. If you need a precise on‑body measurement, we’re happy to provide it.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Hayley features a top zip closure for everyday security. This specific bag has a beige suede lining with one internal zipped pocket and one slip pocket to organise valuables and small essentials.
Q: What materials and finish does this piece have, and where is it made? A: It’s crafted in light brown (camel) grained leather with black leather trim and gold‑tone hardware, lined in beige suede. The brand label indicates Made in Italy. Natural variations in grain and light signs of wear are normal for a pre‑loved piece.
Q: Is the Hayley still produced by Chloé? A: The Hayley was introduced around Autumn/Winter 2015 and is generally considered discontinued. Availability today is primarily through the pre‑loved market in various sizes and finishes.
Q: How durable is the grained leather? Will it scratch easily? A: Grained calf leather is designed for regular use and tends to be more scratch‑resistant than smoother leathers. Hairline marks can occur with normal wear and can often be reduced by gently buffing with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive surfaces and overloading the bag to preserve its shape.
Q: How should I care for the leather and the suede lining? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto the light leather. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and condition smooth areas sparingly with a high‑quality neutral leather product (test on a discreet spot first). For the suede lining, shake out debris and use a clean suede brush to lift nap; avoid liquid cleaners inside. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Where are the brand markings and serial number located? A: Authentic Chloé bags typically have an interior leather stamp with the logo and country of origin, plus a leather tab bearing an alphanumeric serial number—often near a seam or pocket. This listing includes a serial number tag as noted under Accessories. We’re happy to share close‑up photos of the markings on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: For this bag, we list: dust bag and serial number tag. If an accessory (e.g., box or card) isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate and can Chloé service the bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial details. Chloé boutiques and authorised specialists may offer cleaning or repairs subject to assessment and parts availability; we can advise on typical options and help you prepare for a service request.
