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 Choco Bar Handbag? A: With dimensions of approximately 33 x 16 x 15 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. It is not designed for a laptop or larger A4 items.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style features dual flat straps and is designed to be carried by hand or on the shoulder, depending on your frame and preferred fit. Please refer to the handle measurement on this page for guidance.
Q: Is this a vintage Chanel piece? A: Yes. The Choco Bar line is a vintage Chanel design, and this bag’s serial number places production around 2004 to 2005.
Q: What makes the Choco Bar design distinctive? A: The Choco Bar name comes from the square quilted pattern, which resembles pieces of a chocolate bar. It gives the bag a structured, recognisable vintage Chanel look.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The exterior is in good condition with light traces of use and small stains on the leather. The interior is very good with light wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage bags, gentle signs of age are normal.
Q: Does this item include its original card, box or dust bag? A: Only what is specifically listed in the product information is included. For this bag, the serial number is noted. If an authenticity card, box or dust bag is not listed, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication is based on a combination of details rather than one element alone, including serial numbering, construction, leather, lining, hardware and overall craftsmanship. A Retro Tale carefully vets each item before sale.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Store it upright in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and humidity, avoid overfilling, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or heavy conditioning products unless advised by a specialist.
Q: Is this a practical everyday bag? A: For many collectors, yes. The grained leather, zip-top closure and medium silhouette make it a practical vintage option for everyday essentials while still feeling distinctly Chanel.
