This vintage Chanel Perforated CC Tote Bag in black patent leather features a perforated CC design and cutout top handles. In good condition, with visible cracking on the patent leather and light signs of use inside, it is an eye-catching choice for city outings, shopping days, or adding an archival Chanel touch to everyday styling.
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 Perforated CC Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 48 x 36 x 10 cm, this is a roomy tote that can accommodate daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, A4 documents and a tablet. It may also suit some slim laptops, but we recommend comparing your device with the measurements on this page before purchase.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: No, this version is best suited to hand carry or carrying in the crook of the arm. The cutout top handles have an approximate drop of 3 cm, so it is not designed as a shoulder tote.
Q: Does this bag have a zip or flap closure? A: This piece has an open top construction, which gives easy access to the interior. If you prefer a fully secured closure, that is worth bearing in mind before purchasing.
Q: What does the serial number tell me? A: The serial number is a 6-series Chanel code, which dates the bag to approximately 2000 to 2002. On vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number helps confirm the production period, although it does not identify the exact model by itself.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists the serial number as present. If an authenticity card, dust bag, box or pouch is not shown in the product information, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Patent leather has a glossy finish but it is still delicate. Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture, perfume and dark fabrics that may transfer colour. When stored, keep it upright and lightly filled to help maintain its shape.
Q: The description mentions cracking on the patent leather. Is that unusual? A: Visible cracking is already noted in the external condition and should be treated as a vintage wear point. This can happen with older patent leather pieces over time, especially around stress points, so it is best to view it as part of the bag’s age and character rather than something a simple clean will remove.
Q: Is patent leather a high-maintenance finish? A: Yes, compared with many other Chanel leathers, patent leather generally needs more careful handling. It is best for buyers who are comfortable with a finish that can show age, surface wear and colour transfer more readily than more textured leathers.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Chanel bag? A: Authentication is based on a combination of factors, including the serial number, materials, construction, hardware, lining details and overall craftsmanship. Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed before listing, and this piece also carries a serial number consistent with an early 2000s Chanel bag.
