Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 14.5 × 9 cm, it comfortably holds daily make‑up essentials (compact, lipstick, mascara), a small brush, travel‑size skincare (up to 100 ml), a slim cardholder or keys, and a smartphone. Actual capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it double as an evening clutch? A: Yes. The structured, zip‑around silhouette works beautifully handheld as a chic evening pouch. Please note it has no strap or D‑rings, so it is designed to be carried in the hand or tucked under the arm.
Q: Will my smartphone fit? A: Most standard smartphones fit easily alongside cosmetics. Larger “Plus/Max” models may fit depending on case thickness. For certainty, compare your device to the internal space using the listed measurements.
Q: What does the serial number 1****** indicate? A: A 1‑series serial number dates this piece to approximately 1989–1991. Items from this period feature a 7‑digit serial sticker and an authenticity card with a matching number.
Q: Is the hardware real gold‑plated? A: Many Chanel pieces from the late 1980s through the 2000s used 24‑carat gold‑plated hardware. Given the 1989–1991 date range, hardware on this pouch was commonly gold‑plated in that era; however, we describe it as gold‑tone in the listing. Please review the photos and condition notes for exact finish and wear.
Q: What is the interior like and what are the elasticated holders for? A: The pouch has a black leather lining with one main compartment and elasticated holders to keep bottles, brushes or slim items upright and organised, helping to minimise spills in transit.
Q: Is it suitable for carrying liquids when flying? A: It can carry travel‑size bottles, but it is not transparent. Airport security typically requires liquids to be presented in a clear resealable bag, so you may need to transfer items at screening. Keep caps tightly closed and consider additional pouches to protect the leather.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel quilted leather? A: Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat and humidity. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or conditioners. If the leather is very soft, lightly buff marks in small circular motions. Store the pouch loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape, and avoid overfilling to reduce stress on the zip and seams.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under the product information section, this piece comes with the serial number tag and the authenticity card. If a dust bag or box is not mentioned in product information, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this pouch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
