Its structured tote format also makes it a practical choice for work or city use, but we recommend checking the measurements on this page for your specific needs.
Q: Is the Chanel Cerf Tote a good everyday bag? A: Yes, the Cerf Tote is widely loved for its practical, structured shape and smart, understated look. The caviar leather is generally favoured for daily wear because it has a textured finish that tends to be more forgiving than smoother leathers.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes. This particular bag includes a detachable shoulder strap as well as a pouch. Please refer to the product information for everything included with this item.
Q: Does the Cerf Tote keep its shape well? A: The Executive Cerf Tote is known for its structured silhouette, which is one of the reasons it is so popular as a work and day bag. With use, some softening can occur over time, but storing it carefully and not overfilling it can help preserve its shape.
Q: Is caviar leather durable? A: Caviar leather is one of Chanel’s most practical finishes for regular use thanks to its grained texture and structured feel. It is generally considered more resistant to visible scratching than smooth leather, though it should still be handled with care and protected from moisture, rough surfaces and prolonged sun exposure.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is in good condition. The exterior shows corner wear and holes on the corners, the interior has light stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all images carefully for the best understanding of its current condition.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To help maintain it, store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, avoid overloading it, and wipe the leather gently with a soft dry cloth after use. Because this is a pre-owned luxury item, extra care around the corners and hardware is especially advisable.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product data, this bag was made in Italy.
