Chanel Matelasse Card Holder

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Matelassé Card Holder?
A: With its compact 11 × 7.5 × 1 cm shape, it is best suited to daily essentials such as cards, an ID, and a few folded notes or receipts. It is designed as a slim card holder rather than a full-size wallet.

Q: How many cards can it comfortably hold?
A: As this piece has a central pocket and card slots, it works best for a small edit of essentials rather than a bulky load. For the best shape retention, we recommend avoiding overfilling.

Q: Can this card holder be used as a mini wallet?
A: Yes. It can be used as a compact wallet for cards and a little folded cash, especially if you prefer smaller bags. It is less practical for carrying loose change in larger quantities.

Q: What are the main design details of this piece?
A: This card holder features black quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, and a red fabric lining. Inside, it has one central pocket and card slots for easy organisation.

Q: What is the condition of this item?
A: It is in good pre-owned condition. Please note there are scuffed corners and small stains on the exterior, stains on the lining, and shiny hardware with scratches and slight tarnishing.

Q: What does the serial number tell me?
A: The serial number tag is present, and the 29 series indicates production in 2019. This is useful as part of the overall history and identification of the piece.

Q: What is included with the item?
A: The product information lists the serial number tag as included. If a box, dust bag, or authenticity card is not listed in the product information, it is not included with this item.

Q: How should I care for this Chanel card holder?
A: To help preserve it, avoid overfilling, keep it away from moisture and prolonged heat, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. When not in use, store it carefully in a protective pouch or other breathable storage.

Q: How do you authenticate Chanel small leather goods?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts. Authentication is based on a combination of details such as materials, quilting, stitching, hardware, interior finish, and serial information.
