Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel CC Logo Tote?
A: With approximate measurements of 47 × 34 × 10 cm, it easily carries everyday and work essentials: a large smartphone, long/continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a 500 ml water bottle, a compact umbrella, an A5 diary, A4 documents/folders and pouches. Many users also carry a slim laptop (see below). For a tailored fit check for a specific item, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.

Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet?
A: A 13‑inch laptop fits comfortably; many 14–15‑inch slim laptops also fit thanks to the 47 cm width and open‑top design. Larger 16‑inch devices may fit without a bulky sleeve but can be snug depending on the model. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll confirm the fit for this specific bag.

Q: How can I carry it? Is it crossbody?
A: It features dual flat shoulder straps with an approximate 35 cm drop for comfortable shoulder carry, including over light outerwear. It isn’t designed for crossbody wear.

Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the interior like?
A: This is an open‑top tote for quick access. The interior is lined in brown fabric with one internal zipped pocket for valuables. For added security, keep the bag upright and use the included pouch or a small zip pouch to organise smaller items when commuting or travelling.

Q: What leather is it and how should I care for it?
A: It’s crafted in brown leather with a large contrasting leather CC logo. Keep it away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly (test on a discreet area first). Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter garments and protect the leather from abrasive surfaces. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid hanging it by the straps long‑term.

Q: When was this bag produced and where is it made?
A: The internal serial number begins with “3” (3359209), which dates this piece to approximately 1994–1996. This example is labelled Made in Italy.

Q: What is the condition of this specific piece?
A: Overall Good vintage condition. The exterior shows signs of wear with scuffing and some discolouration, especially on the corners; the interior shows a light trace of use. Hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review our photos for close‑ups and feel free to request additional images or a video.

Q: Is this style still in production?
A: This is a vintage CC Logo tote from the mid‑1990s and is not part of Chanel’s current seasonal offerings. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find this design today.
