Q: What is the Chanel Lucky Symbols or Icon line? A: The Lucky Symbols (often known as the Icon line) features black patent leather embossed with Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s favourite charms and talismans. These motifs typically include the Camellia flower, the Number 5, the Star (comet), the Turtle, and the classic CC logo, creating a subtle yet distinctive pattern.
Q: When was this card holder manufactured? A: This item features a serial number starting with 12, which indicates it was produced between 2008 and 2009. Chanel items from this era are highly sought after for their classic designs and enduring quality.
Q: How should I care for black patent leather? A: Patent leather is durable and resistant to water, but it requires specific care to maintain its high-gloss finish. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints. Store it in a breathable dust bag away from heat and humidity to prevent the finish from becoming sticky, and avoid prolonged contact with other leather goods to prevent colour transfer.
Q: What fits inside this card holder? A: This model is designed for essentials. It features one central compartment ideal for folded notes or receipts, and three exterior card slots for your most-used credit or travel cards. It fits easily into mini bags, clutches, or pockets.
Q: Where can I find the serial number? A: On Chanel small leather goods, the serial number is typically located on a small white sticker with gold speckles, placed inside the central compartment or one of the card slots. This item comes with its serial number tag intact.
Q: Does it come with an authenticity card or box? A: Inclusions for pre-owned items vary. This listing notes the presence of the serial number tag (the sticker attached to the item). Please refer to the Accessories section and product photos to see if the original box or authenticity card is included; if they are not shown or listed, they are not part of the sale.
Q: Is this item unisex? A: Yes. The sleek black patent leather and iconic embossed design give it a versatile, sophisticated look that is suitable for all genders.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean for this piece? A: A “Very Good” rating implies the item has been used but well-preserved. You may see light traces of use, such as faint surface marks or minor softening of the leather, but no significant damage. Please review the detailed condition report and close-up photos for the exact status of this specific item.
