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 the Chanel CC Fringe Chain Bag? A: With a slim profile (approx. 26 × 24 × 2 cm), it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, passport, keys, and a few flat essentials. A small tablet such as an iPad mini may fit without a bulky case; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The single interwoven chain-and-leather strap has an approximate 59 cm drop. On many people it sits around hip level and can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody; fit varies by height and layers, so we recommend checking the strap measurement against your preference.
Q: Is the side tassel removable? A: No. The leather tassel is attached to the bag and is not designed to be removed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Product information. For this piece we note a serial number tag; if an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What does the serial number beginning with 5****** indicate? A: Chanel 5-series serial numbers date to approximately 1997–1999, placing this piece in the late-1990s vintage era.
Q: How should I care for the suede exterior? A: Gently brush the nap with a suede brush to lift light dust, avoid oil-based products, and use a dedicated suede protector before first wear and periodically thereafter. Keep the bag away from moisture and direct heat and avoid overfilling to preserve its shape.
Q: Will the suede or hardware transfer colour onto clothing (or pick up dye)? A: Colour transfer can occur with prolonged contact and friction between light and dark materials. Avoid rubbing against dark denim or heavily dyed garments and allow any suede protector to dry fully before use.
Q: Can I carry it in light rain? A: Suede is sensitive to water. If exposed, blot immediately with a clean, absorbent, non‑pilling cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. Do not rub or use general cleaners on suede.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Store upright in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed with acid‑free paper to help maintain its shape. Wrap the chain in tissue and place it inside to avoid imprinting on the suede, and keep the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Do you authenticate and support aftercare? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our specialists. For deep cleaning or restoration of suede or hardware, we recommend consulting a professional leather spa; our team can advise reputable services on request.
