Very Good Condition
This vintage Chanel Half Moon Bag in red leather with gold-tone hardware offers a striking yet timeless look. In very good condition, it features a single interwoven chain and leather shoulder strap, black fabric lining, and CC turn-lock closure. Ideal for dinner dates, evening events, or adding a bold touch to daytime dressing.
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 this Chanel Half Moon Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 24 x 15 x 5 cm, this bag is best for slim daily essentials. It should comfortably hold a phone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. Because of its slim profile, bulkier items such as a large purse or water bottle are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Will a smartphone fit inside? A: Yes, most standard smartphones should fit inside without issue. If you use a very large phone case or carry several bulky items as well, we recommend comparing your essentials with the measurements provided on this page.
Q: Is this bag meant to be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece features a single interwoven chain and leather strap with a listed strap measurement of approximately 40 cm, so it is best suited to shoulder wear. On most people it will sit too short to wear comfortably as a crossbody bag.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light traces of use, including scuffing and light darkening on the corners. The interior also shows light wear, while the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information for this piece lists a serial number. No authenticity card, box, or dust bag is noted, so those items should not be assumed to be included unless otherwise stated in the product information.
Q: The serial number is listed as illegible. Is that a concern? A: Not necessarily. On vintage Chanel bags, serial stickers can fade, peel, or become difficult to read over time. An illegible serial number on its own does not determine authenticity; the overall construction, materials, hardware, stitching, and interior details are all important when assessing a vintage piece.
Q: Can the exact production year be confirmed for this bag? A: Because the serial number is illegible, the exact production year cannot be confirmed from the serial alone. It is, however, a vintage Chanel bag made in France, and its age is typically assessed through a combination of design details and remaining identification markers.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel leather bag? A: To help preserve it, avoid overfilling the bag and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, humidity, and colour transfer from dark clothing. If it gets wet, gently blot it with a soft, non-pilling cloth. For storage, keep it upright, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and protect the chain strap so it does not press into the leather.
