Q: What usually fits inside a Chanel tassel messenger or camera bag? A: This style is typically best for daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, and a few compact personal items. Camera-style bags are designed to be practical yet compact, so they are not usually ideal for bulkier items. Please check the measurements and product information on this page for the best size guidance.
Q: Is this bag suitable for crossbody wear? A: Yes, messenger and camera-style Chanel bags are generally designed for hands-free shoulder or crossbody wear. The exact fit and drop can vary depending on the specific strap length and your height, so it is best to review the product information for item-specific details.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What style of Chanel bag is this? A: This is a vintage Chanel CC Quilted Tassel Messenger Bag, also commonly described by collectors as a camera-style crossbody or messenger bag. It combines Chanel’s signature quilted look with the CC motif and a tassel detail for a timeless vintage feel.

The exact fit and drop can vary depending on the specific strap length and your height, so it is best to review the product information for item-specific details.
Q: Is the tassel a classic Chanel detail? A: Yes, tassel details are a well-known feature seen on many vintage Chanel bags, especially camera and zip-top styles. They are popular with collectors because they give the bag a distinctly vintage Chanel character.
Q: Where was this Chanel bag made? A: According to the product data, this bag is made in France.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: According to the product data, this item is listed in Very Good Condition. As with most vintage Chanel bags, light signs of age and previous use can be expected. Please review the photos and product information carefully for the most accurate item-specific impression.
Q: Does this item come with anything extra? A: Please rely on the product information for what is included with this item. If an additional item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel leather bag? A: Chanel generally recommends gentle care: wipe with a soft cloth, avoid harsh cleaning products, keep the bag away from excess moisture and heat, and store it upright with the strap protected to help preserve its shape. Vintage leather should be handled with extra care, especially if it is soft or delicate.
Q: How can I tell whether a vintage Chanel bag is authentic? A: Authenticity should never be judged by one detail alone. Buyers usually look at the overall quality of the leather, quilting, hardware, stitching, logo execution, interior finishing, serial details where applicable, and provenance. This item has been professionally authenticated by A Retro Tale before being offered for sale.
Q: Why are vintage Chanel tassel bags so popular? A: Vintage Chanel tassel bags are especially sought after because they combine practical everyday wearability with recognisable Chanel design codes. Their compact shape, quilted finish and vintage tassel detail make them a favourite among buyers looking for a classic yet slightly less common Chanel style.
