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 Raffia Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 x 20 x 16 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, sunglasses, keys, a cosmetics pouch, and a small tablet. It is roomy for day use, but it is not an oversized carryall, so capacity will vary depending on how you pack.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features dual woven chain and leather shoulder straps with an approximate 21 cm drop, which is generally comfortable for shoulder wear. As with many chain-strap styles, it will feel best when not overfilled.
Q: Is raffia a delicate material? A: Yes, raffia is typically more delicate than full leather and is best treated as a fair-weather material. It is ideal for light day-to-day use, but it should be protected from rough surfaces, heavy loads, prolonged sunlight, and moisture to help preserve its look and shape.
Q: How should I care for the raffia and leather trim? A: Gently remove dust with a soft dry cloth or soft brush, and blot any spill immediately rather than rubbing it. Avoid harsh cleaning products, perfume, and excess moisture. For storage, keep the bag upright, lightly stuffed with tissue, and in a breathable pouch or dust bag away from heat and humidity.
Q: What does the serial number indicate? A: The serial number dates this bag to 2005 to 2006, placing it within Chanel’s vintage period. On Chanel bags from this era, the serial number helps indicate the production window, although authenticity should always be assessed together with materials, construction, hardware, and overall craftsmanship.
Q: What is the interior layout of this bag? A: This tote has a black fabric lining, one internal zip pocket, and a CC turn-lock closure. The layout is straightforward and practical, making it easy to organise everyday essentials while keeping the top securely closed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The only item noted in the product information is the serial number. No authenticity card, box, or dust bag is listed for this specific piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or A4 work documents? A: It may suit smaller papers or a slim tablet, but at around 31 cm wide and 20 cm high it is not the best choice for most laptops or a bulky work setup. It is better suited to personal essentials than to office carry.
Q: How would you describe the condition of this vintage bag? A: The bag is listed in good condition, with light traces of use on the exterior and interior, and shiny hardware showing light scratches. For a pre-owned raffia Chanel from 2005 to 2006, these are typical signs of gentle wear and are already reflected in the item description.
