Delivery & Returns
Q: What makes the Chanel Chocolate Bar design distinctive? A: The Chocolate Bar style is known for its bold square quilting, which gives the bag a graphic, structured look that differs from Chanel’s more common diamond quilting. On this piece, that design is paired with red suede and silver-tone hardware for a distinctive vintage finish.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 x 15 x 7 cm, it is best suited to everyday essentials such as a mobile phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few compact items. It is not likely to fit bulkier items such as a tablet, large purse, or water bottle comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The strap drop is approximately 54 cm, so it is generally well suited to shoulder wear. Depending on your height and preferred fit, it may sit long, but it is not typically the most comfortable choice for true crossbody wear.
Q: Is suede difficult to care for? A: Suede is beautiful but more delicate than many smooth leathers, so it benefits from mindful use. It is best kept away from rain, prolonged sunlight, moisture, and rough surfaces, and care should be taken with dark and light fabrics to reduce the risk of colour transfer. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, and in a protective pouch when not in use.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about this bag? A: The product information lists the serial as 6******, dating this piece to approximately 2000 to 2002. On vintage Chanel bags, the serial helps place the production period and is one of several points considered during authentication.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows minor rubbing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this item come with an authenticity card, box, or dust bag? A: According to the product information, no additional items are included with this piece. If anything is not specifically listed in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product data, this bag was made in Italy.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication is typically based on a combination of factors rather than one detail alone. Experts assess the serial sticker, materials, stitching, hardware, construction, branding details, and overall consistency with the model and era. For a vintage suede Chanel, the quality of the finish and the precision of the build are especially important.
