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 bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25 x 17 x 15 cm, this Boston bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small purse or wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a compact cosmetics pouch. It is a practical everyday size, but it is not large enough for a laptop or most larger tablets.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: This piece can be carried by the dual top handles or worn on the shoulder using the detachable strap. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm, and the strap measures approximately 60 cm. It is designed mainly for hand carry or shoulder wear.
Q: What material is the bag made from? A: The bag is made from croc-embossed leather with metallic leather trim and gold-tone hardware. Croc-embossed leather means the leather has been finished with a crocodile-effect texture, rather than being made from exotic skin.
Q: Does the bag have a secure closure and lining? A: Yes. It features a top zip closure and a black fabric lining, which helps keep everyday items secure and neatly contained.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag size? A: Yes, it is a compact everyday size in a classic Boston silhouette. It offers enough room for essentials whilst keeping a structured, polished look that works well from day to evening.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: The overall condition is very good. The exterior shows scuffing on the edges and piping, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a vintage item, gentle wear is expected and forms part of its character.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes a detachable shoulder strap. Any additional inclusions would be listed in the product information. If something is not listed there, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: How should I care for croc-embossed leather? A: Gently remove dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, excess water, direct sunlight, heat, and rough surfaces. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape. As this is a vintage leather item, always test any leather-care product on a discreet area first and use conditioning sparingly.
Q: Is a serial number provided for this bag? A: No serial number is noted in this listing. For pre-loved Chloé and See by Chloé bags, buyers often also look at overall craftsmanship, leather quality, stitching, hardware, logo details, and interior tags when assessing authenticity.
