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 are the measurements and strap drop of this Wallet on Chain? A: This piece measures approximately 19 × 12 × 3.5 cm with a strap drop around 60 cm. The drop length allows comfortable crossbody or shoulder wear on most frames; you can also tuck the chain inside to carry it as a clutch.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Essentials such as a smartphone, keys, lipstick, and a few small items fit comfortably. Thanks to the built‑in card slots and compartments, you can carry cards and cash without a separate wallet to maximise space. Larger long wallets or bulky cases may reduce capacity—using a slim phone case is recommended.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The interior is lined in black leather and fabric and includes multiple compartments with a zipped pocket and card slots. This layout helps organise cards, notes, coins, and small essentials without needing an additional wallet.
Q: Is the chain strap removable or adjustable? A: The classic Chanel Wallet on Chain has a fixed, non‑removable chain. You can vary the carry by wearing it crossbody, on the shoulder, or by tucking the strap inside for a clutch‑style look. If you shorten the chain by looping it under the flap, avoid overfilling the bag to prevent impressions on the leather.
Q: Will my smartphone fit—what size should I expect? A: Most modern smartphones up to roughly 16 cm in height fit in the main compartment; extra‑large models may fit best without a bulky case. Always compare your phone’s dimensions to the bag’s internal space (width ~19 cm, height ~12 cm) for certainty.
Q: What is the closure and hardware like? A: It features a press‑stud flap fastening and silver‑tone hardware. The hardware shows a shiny finish with light surface scratches consistent with very good pre‑owned condition, as noted in the product information.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Patent leather has a glossy varnished finish that is prone to colour transfer and imprinting. Keep it away from dark or non‑colourfast materials, prolonged heat or sunlight, and store it in a breathable dust bag with tissue to avoid pressure marks. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol‑based products.
Q: Is this item vintage and what does the serial number indicate? A: Yes—this piece is listed as vintage. The serial number 18334966 corresponds to an 18‑series Chanel code, indicating production around 2013–2014.
Q: What items are included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this item, a serial number tag is included unless otherwise specifically stated.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The origin label indicates Italy.
