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 CC Suede Quilted Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 25 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small water bottle and a compact cosmetics pouch. It fits most tablets and may take a slim 13-inch laptop in a sleeve; however, the curved hobo shape and top zip reduce usable width, so please check your device dimensions for a precise fit.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and how does it carry? A: The bag features dual shoulder straps that are not adjustable. The drop is approximately 32 cm, designed to sit comfortably under the arm for everyday wear.
Q: How should I care for the suede exterior? A: Before first use, lightly apply a suede‑specific protector spray and let it dry fully. Brush the nap occasionally with a soft suede brush to lift fibres and remove surface dust. Avoid water, oils and harsh cleaners; never use leather conditioner on suede. If marks occur, try a suede eraser gently and, for stubborn stains, consult a professional handbag spa.
Q: Can I use this bag in the rain? A: Suede is absorbent and can water‑spot. Avoid wearing it in heavy rain or snow. If it gets wet, blot gently with a dry, lint‑free cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat, then brush the nap lightly once dry. A regular application of a suede protector helps repel light moisture, but it is not a substitute for keeping suede out of wet conditions.
Q: Will the brown suede transfer colour onto clothing? A: As with most dyed suedes, some colour transfer is possible, especially against light or white garments and in humid conditions. Pre‑treating with a protective spray, avoiding prolonged friction against light fabrics and rotating where the bag sits against clothing will help minimise transfer.
Q: Is the hardware real gold, and how should I look after it? A: Chanel used gold‑plated hardware on many vintage pieces; more recent items are typically gold‑tone. This bag is described as gold‑tone. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions and alcohol‑based products, and wipe hardware with a soft dry cloth after use to limit micro‑scratches and tarnish‑like dulling.
Q: What does the serial number 3723213 indicate? A: A 7‑digit Chanel serial beginning with 3 (3XXXXXX) corresponds to the 3‑series, dating production to approximately 1994–1996. Serial numbers indicate a production window rather than an exact month or model specification.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes the serial number tag. Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page; if an item (such as a dust bag or authenticity card) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I store the bag to keep its shape and colour? A: Store it loosely stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, upright and away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not hang it by the straps for long periods. Allow the suede to breathe and avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, including evaluation of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and the serial sticker. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information on request.
