Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Choco Bar Boston Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 29 x 16 x 12 cm, this bag is best suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics, and other compact items. Capacity depends on how you organise your belongings, so please refer to the Measurements in the product information for the best guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is approximately 20 cm, so many people will find it comfortable for hand carry or short shoulder carry. Fit can vary depending on your frame and what you are wearing, so it is best viewed as a compact handheld-to-shoulder style rather than a roomy shoulder tote.
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.

Fit can vary depending on your frame and what you are wearing, so it is best viewed as a compact handheld-to-shoulder style rather than a roomy shoulder tote.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No shoulder strap is listed in the product information for this item. This version is designed with top handles only.
Q: What is the Choco Bar design? A: Choco Bar refers to Chanel’s distinctive square quilted pattern, which gives the bag a clean, graphic look that is especially associated with vintage and early-2000s Chanel pieces. It is different from Chanel’s more traditional diamond quilting.
Q: Is the Chanel Choco Bar line still sold in boutiques? A: The Choco Bar style is generally regarded as a discontinued Chanel design, which is one reason it remains popular on the vintage and resale market. Buyers often seek it out for its recognisable look and collectible appeal.
Q: When was this bag made? A: According to the product information, this bag has a serial number tag from the 9 series, dating it to approximately 2004 to 2005. As with vintage Chanel, the serial helps support the production period, but authentication should always consider the full construction and details of the bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists a serial number tag as included. If any other extras are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This item is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior has pen marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage bags, reviewing the photos alongside the condition notes is recommended.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication is typically based on a combination of factors, including the serial number format, stitching, hardware, materials, logo details, lining, and overall craftsmanship. A serial number alone should never be treated as the only proof of authenticity, which is why reputable resale specialists use a multi-point authentication process.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel Boston bag? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, avoid overfilling it, and keep it lightly stuffed when not in use to help maintain its shape. For routine care, use a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners unless advised by a specialist for the bag’s specific material.
