Effortless for weekday commutes and weekend escapes, the Chloé Medium Vick Tote transitions seamlessly from office hours to off-duty. The smart, striped design elevates denim and tailoring alike, while its open interior keeps essentials at hand for city errands, short trips, or as a stylish travel companion.
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 can the Medium Vick Tote hold day to day? A: With measurements of approximately 31 × 27 × 16.5 cm, it comfortably fits A4 documents, a tablet or most 13-inch laptops, a water bottle, purse, phone and the included pouch. Larger 14–15-inch laptops may fit vertically depending on device dimensions and case thickness—please compare your device to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat handles are designed for hand or shoulder carry. This piece has an approximate handle drop of 25 cm, making it easy to wear over light layers.
Q: How does the bag close, and is it secure? A: This specific item is listed with an open top. Keep valuables in the detachable zipped pouch and place heavier items upright to help the tote sit close to the body. Some Vick totes from other runs include a magnetic snap, but our listing reflects the exact features of this piece—please refer to the product information.
Q: Is a pouch included and can I use it separately? A: Yes. As noted in the product information, this bag comes with a detachable zipped pouch that can be used on its own as a slim clutch or kept attached as an organiser inside the tote.
Q: What is the bag made from? A: Grained calfskin leather with gold‑tone hardware and a black leather-lined interior. The exterior features Chloé’s logo-and-stripe motif in red and cream on black leather. Made in Italy.
Q: How should I care for the leather and minimise colour transfer? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use; keep away from humidity and prolonged direct sunlight; store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. To reduce colour transfer (for example, from dark denim), avoid prolonged rubbing against untreated fabrics and consider a leather protector suitable for calfskin, testing first on a discreet area. Avoid harsh cleaners and never machine‑wash leather.
Q: Is the Medium Vick suitable for work and travel? A: Yes. It has a softly structured, relaxed silhouette that carries daily work essentials with ease. For travel, it works well as a personal item or commuter tote; pack heavier pieces at the base and use the pouch for documents and small items.
Q: How heavy is the bag? A: The Medium Vick typically weighs around 0.9 kg (about 2 lb), though weight can vary slightly between production runs and leathers.
Q: Is this style still available new from Chloé? A: The Vick tote is a past‑season design that is often listed as sold out at traditional retailers. It’s now most commonly found as a pre‑owned piece—our listing reflects the exact item and condition available here.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
