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 Vinyl Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30.1 x 24 x 10 cm, it is best suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact tablet or notebook. It is more of a medium day bag than a large work tote, so it is unlikely to suit most laptops. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style features dual chain-and-leather shoulder straps with an approximate handle drop of 15 cm. It is designed to sit neatly on the shoulder or be carried by hand, rather than worn crossbody.
Q: Is vinyl a practical material for everyday use? A: Yes, especially if you enjoy a glossy, structured look. Vinyl is generally easy to wipe clean after light daily use, but like many shiny finishes it can show fingerprints, light surface scratches, and corner wear more readily than more matte materials. In black, it is usually a little more forgiving visually than lighter shades.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel vinyl bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry or very lightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, or leather creams that may affect the finish. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, and moisture, avoid overfilling, and store it upright with light stuffing inside to help preserve its shape.
Q: Is colour transfer something to watch for? A: Yes. Although black vinyl is generally easier to live with than pale patent or vinyl finishes, it is still best to avoid prolonged rubbing against heavily dyed fabrics or rough textiles during wear and storage.
Q: What does the serial number 3659003 indicate? A: Chanel used 7-digit serial stickers on many vintage bags, and a number beginning with 3 generally points to production in the mid-1990s. A serial number is helpful for dating and authentication, but it should always be considered alongside materials, stitching, hardware, and overall construction.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This piece is listed in good condition. The exterior shows signs of wear to the corners and strap with light scratching, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes the serial number noted in the product information. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or other extras are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
