Chanel CC Tassel Bucket On Chain Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel CC Tassel Bucket On Chain Bag?
A: With approximate dimensions of 18 x 15 x 10 cm, this bag is best suited to essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few small daily items. It is not ideal for bulkier pieces like a tablet, large purse, or water bottle. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: How can this bag be worn?
A: This style features a chain and leather shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 50 cm. It is designed primarily to sit comfortably on the shoulder, and on some frames it may also work as a shorter crossbody style, depending on height and preference.

Q: What are the main design details of this bag?
A: This vintage Chanel bag features black quilted leather, gold-tone hardware, a tassel detail, a drawstring closure, and a black leather lining. Inside, there is one internal zip pocket for organising smaller essentials.

Q: Is this bag practical for everyday use?
A: Yes, if you prefer carrying light essentials. A bucket bag on chain is easy to wear and offers quick access through the drawstring top, making it a practical choice for day-to-evening use. For buyers who carry more than the basics, it is better suited as a compact everyday or occasion bag rather than a large day bag.

Q: How secure is the drawstring closure?
A: The drawstring closure helps keep the contents gathered and gives the bag its classic bucket shape. It is practical for daily use, though smaller valuables are best kept in the internal zip pocket for added organisation and peace of mind.

Q: What condition is this vintage bag in?
A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use with slightly creased leather and scuff marks, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This is consistent with a well-kept vintage Chanel piece.

Q: What does the serial number 1554178 indicate?
A: This bag has a 7-digit Chanel serial number. Serial numbers beginning with 1 are generally associated with late 1980s to early 1990s production, so this piece is typically dated to around 1989 to 1991. As with all vintage Chanel pieces, the serial number is one helpful dating detail and is best considered alongside overall construction and craftsmanship.

Q: What is included with the bag?
A: The listed product information notes the serial number, but no authenticity card, box, or dust bag is mentioned. If an extra item is not listed in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included unless confirmed otherwise.

Q: How should I care for vintage quilted Chanel leather and chain hardware?
A: Store the bag upright and lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep the chain from pressing into the leather during storage. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sunlight, humidity, heat, and contact with rough surfaces. For routine care, use only a soft cloth and keep liquids, oils, and harsh cleaning products away from the leather and hardware.
