Perfect for city days and dinner dates, this vintage Chloé shoulder bag in black pebbled leather with gold-tone hardware brings refined ease to any outfit. A secure top zip and a fabric-lined interior with an internal zip pocket keep essentials organised, while the single shoulder strap takes you from work to weekend.
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 Chloé shoulder bag? A: With dimensions around 29 × 14 × 8 cm and a 24 cm strap drop, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetics. An iPad mini or A5 notebook may be a tight fit due to the bag’s height and zip curve; please compare to the measurements for your own items.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: The bag has a single flat shoulder strap with a fixed drop of approximately 24 cm. It is intended for shoulder carry rather than crossbody.
Q: What leather is this and how should I care for it? A: It is crafted from black pebbled leather with a textured grain. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use, keep away from prolonged moisture and heat, and condition sparingly with a neutral leather cream a few times per year. Store stuffed to maintain shape and in a breathable dust bag; avoid plastic covers and overfilling.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. This piece is delivered with no additional items.
Q: Does this bag have a serial or date code? A: Chloé bags often feature internal codes on a small leather tab or within the lining, but formats vary by era and style. This listing does not specify a serial number in the product information. Our authentication does not rely solely on a code; it is part of a broader assessment.
Q: How would you describe the condition? A: Overall very good vintage condition with light signs of use outside and inside. The hardware shows surface scratches and some dullness consistent with age. Please review the photos and measurements for the most accurate impression.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Italy, as stated in the product information.
Q: Will the strap fit over a coat? A: A 24 cm drop generally sits neatly under the arm over light to medium layers. Fit over bulky outerwear varies by build; comparing the drop to a bag you already own is the best guide.
Q: How should I store it when not in use? A: Empty the bag, gently stuff with acid‑free tissue to support the silhouette, close the zip, and store upright in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods to prevent stretching.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts and additionally verified using a reputable third‑party authentication tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
