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 Coco Mark Caviar Mini Pouch? A: With interior space based on the listed measurements (about 12 × 8 × 3 cm), it comfortably holds 6–10 cards, folded banknotes, coins, a key fob, a lipstick, a small mirror, and an AirPods/AirPods Pro case. It is designed for compact essentials rather than a phone.
Q: Will a smartphone fit in this pouch? A: No. Most modern smartphones exceed the pouch’s 12 cm width and 8 cm height, so this piece is best for cards and small items.
Q: Is Chanel caviar leather durable and water-resistant? A: Caviar leather (pebbled calfskin) is known for excellent scratch and scuff resistance, making it more robust than lambskin. It is not fully waterproof; avoid soaking and wipe away light moisture promptly.
Q: How should I clean and care for the caviar leather? A: Wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use a gentle, pH‑neutral leather cleaner sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area. Keep away from oils, cosmetics, and prolonged sunlight/heat; store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place. Do not overfill to preserve the zip and seams.
Q: Does this pouch come with an authenticity card or dust bag? A: As listed under Accessories, no accessories are included with this item. Chanel moved many models to microchip‑based authentication from 2021, replacing the traditional authenticity card and serial sticker; older vintage pieces may still feature a serial sticker and originally came with a card.
Q: What does Coco Mark refer to? A: Coco Mark is Chanel’s signature interlocking CC logo, here showcased on the exterior of the pouch.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware real gold? A: Many vintage Chanel pieces produced before late 2008 were plated with 24‑karat gold; later collections use gold‑tone finishes without real gold plating. Hardware composition depends on the production year and may show normal plating wear over time.
Q: Can I add a strap and wear it crossbody? A: This mini pouch is designed as a hand‑held/in‑bag accessory and does not have D‑rings for a strap. Aftermarket chains or inserts can stress the zip and leather and are not recommended.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a detailed, multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand by the authenticity of all products and can share further details on request.
Q: Any storage tips to keep it looking its best? A: Store the pouch loosely stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from humidity, and avoid prolonged contact between light and dark colours to minimise colour transfer. Do not overfill to maintain its shape.
