Designed for hands-free style at city breaks, concerts, or weekend errands, this vintage Chanel Caviar waist belt bag in black with silver-toned hardware keeps essentials close. The adjustable leather waist strap and top zip offer effortless wear from day to night, while the CC charm adds a subtle signature to casual looks or a sleek blazer.
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 in this belt bag? A: With its compact 19 × 15 × 3 cm size, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, slim cardholder or small wallet, keys, and a couple of small items like lip balm or AirPods. The profile is slim, so bulky cases or chunky keychains may reduce capacity. Please compare your essentials to the Measurements shown on this page for best results.
Q: Will my phone fit, including larger models? A: Yes, most modern large smartphones fit when placed horizontally. For a phone with a thick case, we recommend checking the case thickness against the 3 cm depth and trying slimmer inserts if needed.
Q: Is the waist strap adjustable and what sizes does it fit? A: The leather waist strap is adjustable. As individual fit varies, the most reliable method is to measure your waist/hip where you plan to wear it and compare with the strap’s current hole range. If you need fine-tuning, a professional cobbler can add extra holes neatly. You can also wear it higher on the waist or lower on the hips for comfort.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the waist? A: Many people style belt bags crossbody by extending the strap to its longest setting and wearing it across the chest. Fit depends on your frame and preferred drop, so please check the strap length once adjusted. Otherwise, it is designed to sit comfortably on the waist or high hip.
Q: How durable is Chanel caviar leather? A: Caviar leather is a grained calfskin known for its pebbled texture and excellent resistance to day‑to‑day scratches and scuffs. It keeps its shape well compared with smoother leathers. While robust, it still benefits from mindful care and should be kept away from harsh chemicals and prolonged sunlight or heat.
Q: What’s the best way to clean and care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; use a pH‑neutral leather cleaner sparingly if needed. Avoid over‑conditioning and never use alcohol, baby wipes, or abrasive products. For the silver‑tone hardware, buff gently with a clean microfibre cloth only. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: There is a light vintage smell noted—how can I reduce it safely? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry room away from direct sun. You can place odour‑absorbing sachets (such as baking soda or activated charcoal) nearby but not in direct contact with the leather or lining. Avoid perfumes or strong deodorisers on the leather. If odour persists, consult a professional leather care specialist.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the serial number sticker is present. If a dust bag, box, or authenticity card is not listed in the product information, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag, and what does the serial number indicate? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, who examine materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and the serial number. Chanel used serial‑number stickers (7‑ or 8‑digit) to indicate a production window up to the 2021 transition to embedded microchips; the code should be considered alongside overall construction and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share further details on request.
Q: Is the leather rainproof? A: Caviar leather offers some surface resilience but is not waterproof. If it gets lightly wet, blot immediately with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid heat sources and do not overfill the bag when damp to help it maintain its shape.
