Q: What size is this Chanel 1997s CC Quilted Camera Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 25 cm wide, 15 cm high and 7 cm deep, with a strap drop of approximately 52 cm. It is a medium-sized vintage shoulder bag with a slim, practical profile.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With its 25 x 15 x 7 cm dimensions, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, cards, lipstick and other small necessities. It is best for essentials rather than bulky items, so we recommend checking the measurements carefully if you carry larger phones, long wallets or cases.

Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item comes with a serial number tag. Any included extras are shown in the product information. If something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior is also in Very Good condition with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Vintage Chanel bags should be handled gently and not overfilled, as this helps preserve their shape. Store the bag upright, ideally lightly stuffed, and keep straps or chains protected from marking the leather. A soft cloth is best for light surface care, while harsh cleaning products, excess moisture, direct heat and prolonged sunlight should be avoided.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: According to the product information, this bag was made in France.
Q: What should I look for when buying a vintage Chanel camera bag? A: Buyers often focus on overall structure, quilting, hardware finish, interior wear, strap condition and the presence of serial details. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial element is only one part of the picture, so it is best considered alongside craftsmanship, materials and construction. This listing already includes a detailed condition report and product information to help with that assessment.
