Perfect for evenings out and city breaks, this compact Chanel coin purse slips neatly into a mini bag or blazer pocket. In timeless black caviar leather, it keeps change and small essentials to hand from after-work drinks to wedding receptions, brunch dates and everyday errands—elevating any look with understated elegance.
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 Caviar Coin Purse? A: With approximate measurements of 12 × 7.5 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds 6–8 cards, coins, and folded notes. You can also slip in a house key and a slim car key fob, or a compact earbuds case, but capacity varies with the items’ size—avoid overfilling to maintain shape.
Q: Is the interior organised or open? A: The coin purse has a zip-top opening with a neatly finished interior and burgundy fabric lining. Some zipped coin purses have small internal partitions; regardless of layout, this size is ideal for cards, coins and folded notes rather than flat cash bills.
Q: Does the attached key ring come off? A: The key ring is attached on a short chain and is not designed to be removed. You can keep keys on the ring and tuck the chain inside while the zip is closed for security and a tidy profile.
Q: Will it fit inside mini bags and coat pockets? A: Yes. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent companion for mini and small bags, clutches and most coat pockets, providing wallet functionality without bulk.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather durable for daily use? A: Caviar leather is a grained calfskin known for its textured finish and superior resistance to light scratches and scuffs compared with smoother leathers. It’s a popular choice for small leather goods that see frequent handling.
Q: How should I care for caviar leather and the lining? A: Wipe the exterior occasionally with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth; avoid alcohol, oils and harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged sunlight and colour‑transfer risks. Do not overstuff the purse, and store it in its dust bag when not in use. If the lining needs freshening, gently shake out debris and use a clean, dry cloth only.
Q: Does this purse have RFID protection? A: No. Chanel coin purses and small leather goods typically do not include built‑in RFID shielding. If you require it, consider adding a slim RFID card or sleeve for contactless cards.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, dust bag and serial number tag, as listed on this page. An authenticity card is not included unless specifically stated in the Accessories section.
Q: What does the serial number 16823992 indicate? A: The eight‑digit code beginning with 16 places this piece in the 16‑series, produced around 2012–2013. Chanel moved from serial stickers to microchipped plates from 2021 onward; this earlier piece features a traditional serial. As with all our items, A Retro Tale has authenticated it through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: Any tips for zips and hardware care? A: Keep the zip free of debris, open and close it straight (without forcing around full corners), and avoid contact with liquids, perfumes and hand sanitisers that can dull metal finishes. Light surface marks on hardware are normal with gentle use.
