Show more product information
Q: What typically fits inside this CC Caviar Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 27 × 10 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as an A4/US Letter notepad, long wallet, phone, sunglasses, cosmetic pouch, small water bottle and a tablet or e‑reader. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions and pack with soft pouches to protect the lining.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: Most 13‑inch laptops and some slim 14‑inch models fit horizontally within the 36 cm width. For best results, measure your device (and sleeve) and avoid prolonged carrying of very heavy items to preserve the structure, as vintage totes can soften over time.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat shoulder straps have an approximate 24 cm drop, so the bag typically sits under the arm and can be worn over light layers. Heavier coats may reduce shoulder room—try with your usual outerwear if possible.
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: How secure is the closure? A: This vintage model features a top zip closure with decorative CC ball pulls, offering better security than open totes. There is also an internal zipped pocket for valuables you want to keep extra secure.
Q: What are the benefits of Chanel caviar leather? A: Caviar is a pebbled calfskin known for its textured grain and enhanced resistance to surface scratches and day‑to‑day wear. It was chosen for durability while retaining a luxurious look and feel—ideal for a work or everyday tote.
Q: How should I care for caviar leather on a vintage piece? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, lint‑free cloth and let it air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, baby wipes, alcohol, oils, or heavy conditioners; prolonged sun/heat; and overstuffing. Store the bag upright, lightly filled to maintain shape, with straps relaxed, in a breathable dust bag. Consider using a base shaper or pouches to minimise corner wear.
Q: The serial number is illegible—can you still authenticate it? A: Yes. While serial stickers were used by Chanel for many years, they are only one element of authentication and often wear with age. Our experts authenticate holistically—assessing materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, construction and provenance—so authenticity does not rely on a readable sticker alone.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section for this listing. If a dust bag, box or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm specifics.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: France. Country of origin is stated on the label and in the product information for this item.
