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.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Denim CC Tote Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 47 x 29 x 16 cm, this is a roomy everyday tote. It can generally hold a wallet, phone, sunglasses case, water bottle, notebook, small cosmetics pouch and other daily essentials. It may also fit a tablet or many slim 13-inch laptops, but we recommend comparing your device to the listed measurements for the best fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style has dual shoulder straps with an approximate 19 cm drop, so it is designed for shoulder carry. Depending on your frame and outerwear, it may feel a little snug over heavier coats.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: Yes. The serial number begins with 5, which places production around 1997-1999, so this piece falls into Chanel's late-1990s vintage period.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: The listed product information is the serial number. No authenticity card, box or dust bag is mentioned in the current product information, so only the items specifically listed on this page should be expected.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: It is listed in Very Good condition overall. The exterior shows visible wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does the bag have any internal organisation? A: Yes. The listing notes a tonal fabric lining with an interior zip pocket, which is useful for securing smaller essentials such as keys, cards or lipstick.
Q: How should I care for a vintage denim Chanel bag? A: Denim should be handled gently to help preserve its colour and shape. Avoid prolonged sunlight, moisture, overfilling and repeated rubbing against rough or dark fabrics. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, and protected in a pouch or dust bag when not in use.
Q: Is denim a practical material for everyday use? A: Denim gives Chanel totes a relaxed, casual look and can work well for careful daily use. However, compared with leather, vintage denim tends to show corner wear, fading and friction more easily, so thoughtful handling and storage are especially important.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel bag like this authenticated? A: Authentication should never rely on the serial sticker alone. Experts assess the serial number, materials, stitching, hardware, lining and overall construction together, and this item's listed serial range is consistent with its late-1990s vintage era.
