Q: What fits inside the Chloé Kerala Tote (medium)? A: With approximate measurements 33 × 22 × 16 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case and a tablet up to around 11 inches. A4 documents will not fit upright due to the 22 cm height; placed horizontally they may fit, but a 13-inch laptop is generally a snug fit and depends on the device thickness and case.
Q: Can I carry it on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is 18 cm. Most people can wear it on the shoulder over light layers; thicker coats may feel snug. It is also comfortable hand-carried or in the crook of the arm.
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: Does this piece come with a shoulder strap or charms? A: This vintage Kerala is designed with dual top handles and a zip closure. No detachable strap or charms are listed in the product information for this item; please review the photos and product information for what is included.
Q: Is the Kerala style still produced? A: The Kerala line first appeared in the early 2000s and was revived in 2025 as the Kerala 25. This piece is an earlier vintage Kerala tote, so details may differ from the current reissue (for example, hardware or proportions).
Q: How durable is the leather and hardware? A: Chloé leathers are known to be robust and develop a soft patina with wear. Light surface scratches on gold‑tone hardware are normal in pre‑loved pieces; avoid abrasion and contact with hard surfaces to minimise marks.
Q: How should I care for it? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid humidity, heat and contact with alcohol or oils; do not overfill the bag; store it upright in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed to maintain shape; you may condition occasionally with a professional leather conditioner.
Q: Are there any notable signs of wear on this item? A: External condition is very good with some fraying on the handle stitching. The interior is very good with light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for a close look.
Q: What is included according to the product information? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this item, no additional items are included; the listing is for the bag only.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chloé bags? A: Every item undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, logo typography (including the accent over the é) and, where present, serial/date codes or hologram tabs. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Italy, as indicated on the label.
