Chanel Coco Mark Metallic Tri-Fold Wallet

Q: What typically fits inside this Chanel Coco Mark Metallic Tri-Fold Wallet?
A: With compact measurements of approximately 10 × 8 × 1 cm, it is best suited to streamlined daily essentials such as cards, folded notes and a few slim receipts. It is ideal if you prefer a smaller wallet for lighter everyday use or for pairing with compact handbags.

Q: Will this wallet fit inside small or mini bags?
A: Yes. Its compact tri-fold shape makes it a practical choice for mini, small and evening bags where a full-size wallet would take up too much room.

Q: Will banknotes need to be folded?
A: In most cases, yes. As this is a compact wallet rather than a long continental style, notes will usually need to be folded to fit neatly inside. If you regularly carry a lot of cash, a larger wallet may feel more convenient.

Q: Is metallic leather more delicate than standard leather?
A: Yes. Metallic leather is generally more sensitive to friction and wear than standard finishes, especially around corners and edges. Light rubbing, softening and gradual fading of the metallic effect can happen over time, which is normal for a vintage metallic piece.

Q: How should I care for a vintage metallic Chanel wallet?
A: Handle it gently, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity, water, perfume and harsh cleaning products. A soft dry cloth is usually best for light surface care. Store it in a dry place and minimise repeated rubbing against rough or dark fabrics to help preserve the finish.

Q: What does the serial number tell me?
A: This wallet has a 12-series serial number, which corresponds to the 2008–2009 production era. The serial helps date the piece, but authenticity should always be assessed together with the materials, construction, logo details and hardware.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This item includes the serial number tag. If a box, dust bag or authenticity card is not listed in the product information, it is not included with this piece.

Q: What condition is this wallet in?
A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior has slightly scuffed corners, the interior shows light traces of use, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: How do you authenticate this wallet?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logo details and serial information. The serial number tag on this wallet supports age identification alongside the overall construction and finish.
