Q: What typically fits inside this pouch?
A: With approximate measurements of 11 × 15 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a cardholder, keys, lipstick, compact, and wireless earbuds. Most modern smartphones exceed the 11 cm height, so many will not fit; please measure your device and case before purchase.

Q: Does it come with a chain or strap?
A: No. This is a zip pouch with a decorative leather tassel and chain pull. It is designed to be carried by hand or placed inside a larger bag.

Q: Is the tassel removable?
A: The tassel is integrated with the zip pull and is not intended to be detached.

Q: Is the hardware real gold-plated?
A: Many vintage Chanel pieces produced before late 2008 featured 24‑carat gold‑plated hardware, while later items use gold‑tone metals. As vintage items can vary by production year, the exact composition of this pouch’s hardware is assessed during authentication and reflected in the condition notes.

Q: Does this pouch have a serial sticker or number?
A: Chanel used internal serial stickers from the mid‑1980s until 2021. On small pouches, the sticker may be absent or have worn off over time. If present, it will be found inside; if not, we authenticate via construction, materials, stamps and hardware details.

Q: How should I care for the lambskin leather?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid chemical cleaners. Keep away from prolonged sunlight, heat and humidity. For minor marks on lambskin, lightly buff in a small circular motion. Store upright, loosely stuffed, in a breathable pouch, and wrap the tassel to prevent imprints.

Q: The shape looks softly relaxed—will it soften more?
A: Lambskin can naturally relax with use. To maintain structure, avoid overfilling, store stuffed with tissue, and rotate use. Professional shaping by a reputable bag spa is preferable to any heat‑based methods.

Q: Can I use it as an evening clutch?
A: Yes. Its compact profile, zip closure and classic CC detailing make it ideal for evening essentials when carried by hand.

Q: What is included with the item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: Can I add a third‑party chain or strap?
A: This pouch has no D‑rings and was not designed for a strap. Clipping add‑ons to the zip pull or tassel can strain the hardware and damage the leather, so it is not recommended.
