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 dimensions and strap drop of this Wallet On Chain? A: This piece measures approximately 19 × 12.5 × 3 cm with a chain drop of about 60 cm. These proportions align with the classic Chanel WOC silhouette often cited around 7.5 × 5 × 1.5 inches with a ~24 inch/61 cm drop.
Q: What typically fits inside day to day? A: Think small and organised: a smartphone, slim key fob, lipstick, compact tissues, and earphones. The built‑in wallet function provides card slots and zipped compartments, so a bulky wallet is not necessary. For the most comfortable carry, avoid overfilling to keep the flap lying flat.
Q: Will a large phone (e.g., iPhone Pro Max) fit? A: Many users report that larger phones fit best without a thick case and placed upright or slightly angled. Fit can vary by model and case thickness, so comparing your device to the internal width (~19 cm) and height (~12.5 cm) is a helpful guide.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or removable? A: The strap is fixed and not removable. You can wear it crossbody or on the shoulder, double the chain inside to shorten the drop, or tuck it in to carry as a clutch. Some owners use non‑permanent strap shorteners or ribbon methods to reduce the length for a petite fit.
Q: How durable is caviar leather and how should I care for it? A: Chanel’s caviar is a grained calfskin known for its textured, more scratch‑resistant finish. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, keep away from prolonged moisture and heat, minimise rubbing against dark denim to avoid colour transfer, and store the bag stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help it retain shape.
Q: Does a passport fit in the WOC? A: A standard passport can slip into a full‑length interior pocket. To protect the flap and closure, avoid overstuffing and keep items slim.
Q: What closure does this one have? A: This specific piece features a snap closure, as stated in the product information. Chanel has introduced magnetic closures on some later WOC variations, but closure type varies by season and style.
Q: What does the serial number 26966394 tell me about its age? A: The 26‑series, eight‑digit code indicates production around 2019. Pieces from this era carry a serial sticker inside; from 2021 Chanel transitioned to microchipped plates. Note that a serial number identifies a production period only and is just one element of a comprehensive authentication review.
Q: What can I do if the crossbody drop feels long on me? A: Without altering the bag, you can temporarily shorten the chain by looping it under the flap, using a discreet clip or a ribbon method, or by doubling the chain to wear it as a shoulder bag. Choose a method that does not pinch the leather and remove it for storage.
Q: What is included with this listing and how do you authenticate it? A: Everything included is listed in the product information; for this item, the serial number tag is included. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serials. We are happy to provide further details on request.
