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 clutch? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 17 × 3 cm, it comfortably holds most smartphones, a slim cardholder or small wallet (or use the built-in card slots), keys, lipstick, and a passport. The two main compartments and interior zipped pocket help keep essentials organised.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit? A: Yes. Most larger modern smartphones fit easily thanks to the 24 cm width and 17 cm height. Very bulky cases may reduce available space, so consider a slimmer case for an easier zip-around closure.
Q: Does this come with a strap or chain? A: No. This is a handheld clutch with a zip-around closure and no strap attachments. It is designed to be carried in the hand or slipped inside a larger bag.
Q: What does the serial number 5316086 indicate? A: The 5-series serial number dates the piece to approximately 1997–1999. Serial numbers indicate a production period only (not the exact model or factory) and are one of several points used in authentication.
Q: Is the gold-tone hardware real gold-plated? A: Chanel used 24k gold-plated hardware on many bags and SLGs up to around late 2008. Given its 5-series date (1997–1999), this piece was produced during the 24k-plating era and is likely plated; however, finishes vary by item. Please review the photos and hallmarks for confirmation.
Q: What is caviar leather and how does it wear? A: Chanel caviar is a grained calfskin with a pebbled texture. It is valued for its structure and relative resistance to surface scratches compared with smoother leathers, making it a practical choice for frequent use while still feeling luxurious.
Q: How should I care for this clutch? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners and colour-transfer risks (light leather against dark fabrics, or vice versa). Do not overfill. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing, and keep away from heat, humidity and prolonged direct light. Wrap hardware to prevent imprints.
Q: Can I use it as a wallet or organiser inside a tote? A: Yes. The card slots and slim profile make it ideal as a wallet-style organiser that can be placed inside a larger day bag, then carried on its own for evening.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate it? A: This item includes the box and the serial number tag. An authenticity card is not included unless specifically stated. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and serial numbers.
