Perfect for back-to-office commutes, client meetings and weekend brunch, it brings timeless Parisian elegance to every look.
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 this Chanel Chocolate Bar Wild Stitch Chain Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 29 × 10 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet, a long wallet, keys, a cosmetics pouch and a small water bottle. Many 13‑inch laptops fit in a slim sleeve; please compare your device to the measurements for the best guidance.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual chain shoulder straps have an approximate 26 cm drop, allowing comfortable shoulder carry over light layers.
Q: Does the bag have a secure closure? A: This style has an open top with one internal zipped pocket. For travel or crowded spaces, we recommend using a zipped pouch or bag organiser to secure valuables.
Q: What is the Wild Stitch “Chocolate Bar” design? A: Wild Stitch pieces feature bold contrast topstitching across quilted panels. The Chocolate Bar pattern is defined by elongated rectangular quilting that gives a modern, graphic look popular in the early 2000s.
Q: Is this considered vintage and what is the estimated production year? A: The 7‑digit serial number beginning with 7 (7125236) places this bag circa 2002–2003. Serial numbers indicate a production period but are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this bag, a serial number tag is included. Items such as a dust bag or authenticity card are only included if specifically stated in the product information.
Q: How should I care for the white leather and prevent colour transfer? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Keep the bag away from dark denim or freshly dyed fabrics, and consider applying a specialist leather protectant suitable for light‑coloured leather. For stubborn marks like dye transfer or ink, consult a professional leather care service.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Store it loosely stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Tuck or wrap the chain straps to prevent indentations on the leather and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
Q: Is it suitable for work or everyday use? A: Yes. The structured silhouette, shoulder drop and capacity make it a practical day‑to‑evening tote. The open top offers quick access; add a zipped organiser or pouch for extra security if desired.
