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 can this tote hold day to day? A: With measurements of approximately 40 × 26 × 10 cm, it comfortably fits A4 documents, a long wallet, phone, small cosmetics pouch, water bottle, and similar daily essentials. Most 13‑inch laptops and slim tablets fit horizontally; very bulky 14‑inch devices may be too tall for the zip opening. Please compare your device to our measurements for the best guidance.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. The strap/handle drop is approximately 19 cm, designed for hand or comfortable shoulder carry over light layers.
Q: What does the serial number starting with 7 indicate? A: A 7‑series Chanel serial typically dates production to around 2002–2003. The serial number should match the number on the authenticity card when present; the code helps indicate the period but is not proof of authenticity on its own.
Q: This piece is stamped Made in Italy. Is that normal for Chanel? A: Yes. Chanel leather goods are produced in both France and Italy. A Made in Italy stamp is entirely legitimate for Chanel handbags and does not affect quality or authenticity.
Q: How durable is Chanel caviar leather? A: Caviar is pebbled calfskin known for being more resistant to surface scratches and everyday wear than smoother leathers. It still benefits from mindful care: avoid overfilling, rotate use, and store stuffed to help maintain shape.
Q: Any care tips specific to caviar leather? A: Wipe the leather occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Keep away from oils, perfumes and alcohol‑based products, and minimise prolonged contact between light and dark colours to reduce colour transfer. Store in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing and avoid heat or direct sunlight.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware solid gold? A: No. It is gold‑tone plated hardware (not solid gold). Handle with care to limit scratches and fading: avoid contact with lotions, fragrance and hand sanitisers, and wipe with a clean, dry microfibre cloth after wear.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This listing includes a serial number tag and an authenticity card. Everything included is always listed under product information; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel pieces? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, construction, stamps, serials, and hardware details, supported by reference databases and brand‑specific patterns. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Does this model have a zip closure and internal pockets? A: Yes. It features a top zip closure and a black fabric‑lined interior with practical internal pockets for easy organisation.
