Chanel Classic Caviar Wallet On Chain Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Classic Caviar Wallet On Chain Bag?
A: This is an essentials-only style. With measurements of 19 x 12.5 x 3 cm, it is best for a phone, cards, folded notes, keys and a lipstick or other small beauty item. Because the WOC already has built-in card slots, it works best if you skip a full-size wallet.

Q: Will it fit a smartphone?
A: In most cases, yes. The classic WOC shape usually accommodates many standard smartphones, but very large phones or bulky cases can make the fit tight. If this is important for you, compare your phone with the measurements on this page before purchasing.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: Yes. The chain-link strap with interlaced leather is designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. This item has a strap length of approximately 62 cm, so the final fit will depend on your height and preferred drop.

Q: Is caviar leather a practical choice for everyday use?
A: Yes. Chanel caviar leather is known for its textured finish, structure and better resistance to light scratches and daily wear than smoother leathers. It is one of the most practical Chanel finishes for frequent use, although corners and edges should still be treated with care.

Q: How is the inside organised?
A: This bag combines the look of a mini Chanel bag with wallet-style organisation. This piece features a burgundy fabric lining with card slots and an interior zip pocket, making it easy to carry daily essentials without much extra bulk.

Q: Is the Chanel WOC more of a wallet or a bag?
A: It sits between the two. The Wallet On Chain is designed as a compact bag with built-in wallet functions, which is why it is especially popular for evenings, travel and quick day outings when you only need the essentials.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: It is listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use externally and internally. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle previous wear.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This piece comes with a box, serial number, dust bag and authenticity card. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information on this page.

Q: Is black caviar with silver-tone hardware a classic combination?
A: Yes. Black is one of Chanel’s most enduring WOC colours, and silver-tone hardware is a recognised Chanel finish that gives the bag a slightly more understated and modern look than gold-tone hardware.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked for authenticity by specialists who assess materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial details. This piece also includes its serial number and authenticity card, which support the overall authentication process.
