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 Camera Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 16 × 6 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and a slim sunglasses case. A small cosmetics pouch or passport also fits. Slim A5 notebooks can fit horizontally without a bulky cover; A4 documents and tablets larger than an iPad mini generally do not fit comfortably. For a tailored fit check, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece for you.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes—this vintage camera bag has a leather‑interwoven chain strap with an approximate length of 90 cm, which typically wears as a comfortable shoulder or high crossbody on most frames. The strap is not adjustable. If you’d like precise drop measurements on your preferred setting, we’re happy to measure it for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag has a zip‑top closure with a tassel pull for quick, secure access. Inside, there’s a black leather lining with one zipped pocket to keep valuables organised. Our listing photos show the exact layout of this piece.
Q: What is the leather and hardware on this piece? A: It’s crafted from black lambskin leather with gold‑tone hardware. Lambskin is velvety‑soft and luxurious, while the hardware on this vintage era has a rich gold colour. Many Chanel bags from late‑1980s periods featured 24K gold‑plated hardware; however, finishes can vary by year and batch. If you’d like us to confirm plating details for this specific bag, please contact us.
Q: When was this bag produced and where is it made? A: This piece is labelled Made in Italy and carries serial number 0673226. Based on the serial format and series, it is from the late 1980s vintage era. We’re happy to share close‑ups of the serial sticker and card and assist with dating on request.
Q: How should I care for lambskin leather and the tassel? A: Keep the leather away from moisture and oils, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette and tassel. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, with the chain tucked inside and protected by felt to minimise imprints.
Q: Will the chain leave marks on the leather? A: Chain imprints can occur if the strap presses against the leather in storage. To minimise this, place a soft cloth or felt between the chain and the leather, tuck the chain inside the bag, and avoid stacking heavy items on top. Do not hang the bag by the chain for long periods.
Q: Can Chanel repair or replace the tassel or hardware on a vintage piece? A: Chanel boutiques offer repairs subject to assessment and parts availability, and options for vintage tassels and hardware can be limited. High‑quality independent luxury leather specialists can also provide cleaning, reinforcement and some hardware work. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique or specialist assessment.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, the serial sticker/card and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can provide additional photographs or video on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: According to the Accessories section, this bag comes with its box, dust bag, authenticity card and serial number tag. If an accessory isn’t listed there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
