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 fits inside the Chanel CC Camera Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 18 x 12 x 6.5 cm, it is best for compact essentials such as a smartphone placed sideways, a slim card holder or small wallet, keys, lipstick and other small daily items. It is not large enough for bulkier pieces such as a long wallet, sunglasses case or a water bottle.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The listed strap measurement is approximately 50 cm. For most people this style works best on the shoulder, though it may sit as a shorter crossbody on some frames depending on height and preferred fit. Comparing the measurement with a bag you already own is the best guide.
Q: What does the serial number 1****** mean? A: Chanel 1-series serial numbers are generally dated to 1989-1991, which matches the production period noted for this bag. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial sticker is an important dating clue, but it should always be considered alongside the leather, hardware, stitching and overall construction.
Q: Does this item come with an authenticity card, box or dust bag? A: Only what is listed in the product information is included with the bag. For this piece, the serial number is noted, but an authenticity card, box and dust bag are not listed, so they should not be expected unless confirmed separately.
Q: What condition is the bag in? A: It is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible rubbing on the edges and scuffs on the leather, the interior has scratches on the leather, and the hardware is tarnished with light surface scratches. These signs of wear are reflected in the overall condition assessment.
Q: Is a camera bag style practical for everyday use? A: Yes. Camera bags are popular because their compact rectangular shape is easy to organise, and the top zip closure helps keep essentials secure. This piece combines that practical shape with quilted leather, a chain-and-leather strap and a tassel zip pull.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: Handle it gently, avoid overfilling it, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity, perfume and other chemicals. Store it upright in a pouch or dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and wrap the chain if possible to protect the leather. Use only a soft cloth for light cleaning and avoid harsh leather products unless advised by a specialist.
Q: Was this bag made in Italy? A: Yes. The country of origin label for this specific bag is Italy. Vintage Chanel bags from the late 1980s and early 1990s can vary by production, so the label on the individual piece is the best reference.
Q: Is the serial sticker alone enough to authenticate a vintage Chanel bag? A: No. A serial sticker is helpful for dating a bag, but authenticators also assess the quality of the leather, quilting alignment, stitching, hardware, lining, logo details and overall craftsmanship. For vintage Chanel, these elements should always be reviewed together.
