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 the Chanel Caviar Medallion Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 23 x 13.5 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, a notebook and a compact tablet. It offers practical everyday capacity, though the zipped top means bulky items can be a tighter fit than the base size suggests.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. With a strap drop of approximately 17 cm, this Medallion Tote can generally be carried on the shoulder or in the hand. Fit can vary depending on your frame and clothing, so it may feel roomier with lighter layers than with a thick coat.
Q: Is this Chanel Medallion Tote a vintage style? A: Yes. The Medallion Tote is a discontinued Chanel model that is now mainly found on the pre-owned market. This specific bag is also described as vintage, and the serial number series dates it to approximately 2000-2002.
Q: What are the benefits of caviar leather? A: Chanel's caviar leather is known for its grained texture, structure and everyday practicality. It is generally more resistant to visible scratches and wear than smoother leathers, which is one reason the Medallion Tote remains a popular vintage choice.
Q: Does this bag have a secure closure and useful pockets? A: Yes. This piece features a top zip closure with the signature medallion pull, an exterior back slip pocket and internal pockets, making it practical for organising smaller essentials.
Q: Is the opening roomy and easy to access? A: The bag is structured and practical, but this model is often noted for having a narrower zipped opening than the body of the tote suggests. In daily use that means it can hold a good amount, while larger or more rigid items may need a little more manoeuvring.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It is best suited to daily essentials and possibly a small tablet or very compact laptop, depending on the device dimensions. For most standard laptops, we recommend comparing your device measurements with the bag's width of 30 cm and height of 23 cm before purchasing.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: This bag is listed in good condition with light traces of use. The interior is also in good condition with light wear and a few scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: No additional product information is listed as included with this item. If you would like confirmation before ordering, please contact customer care.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Chanel bag? A: To help preserve the shape and finish, avoid overfilling, prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture and contact with perfume or harsh products. Store it upright when possible, ideally lightly filled to support its structure, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use.
