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 Chain Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 30 x 23 x 9 cm, it is well suited to everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a small notebook or tablet. It offers more space than a compact shoulder bag, but we would not recommend it as a laptop bag. Please use the listed measurements as the final guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. With a strap drop of approximately 35 cm, this style is designed to sit on the shoulder rather than crossbody.
Q: Is this bag vintage, and what does the serial number indicate? A: Yes, this is a vintage Chanel piece. The serial number 4556099 begins with 4, which generally places production around 1996 to 1997. As with all Chanel bags, the serial number helps support dating and authentication, but it should not be used as the only checkpoint.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: It is listed in good condition overall. The suede shows visible wear, with rubbed corners and darkening on the strap. Inside, the lining has a light stain, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all images carefully for the clearest impression.
Q: What product information comes with this bag? A: This piece includes the serial number tag. If an authenticity card, box or dust bag is not listed in the product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: How should I care for the suede? A: Suede is a delicate material and should be protected from rain, humidity, oils and prolonged sunlight. Avoid overfilling the bag, and store it upright with the chain wrapped or separated so it does not press against the suede. For stains or deeper cleaning, a specialist suede or handbag spa is the safest choice.
Q: Are Chanel chain straps comfortable for daily wear? A: Most owners find chain straps comfortable for normal shoulder wear, but they can feel heavier if the bag is overfilled or worn for long periods, especially on bare skin. Packing lightly will usually make this style more comfortable to carry.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this one? A: Authentication should always look at the full bag rather than one detail alone. Experts typically assess the serial number tag, materials, stitching, hardware, lining, logo details and overall craftsmanship together. At A Retro Tale, every item is professionally authenticated before sale.
