Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Large Urban Spirit Backpack? A: As a large backpack, it generally carries daily essentials with ease: a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents/folder, tablet, zip wallet, smartphone, keys, slim sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch and a small water bottle. The flap-and-drawstring opening can be narrower than the body, so very bulky cases may be snug. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: Most 13-inch laptops fit comfortably; many slim 14-inch devices may also fit, depending on their dimensions and sleeve thickness. Compare your device to the listed measurements (approximately 31 × 35 × 11 cm), or contact us and we’ll perform a quick fit test for this item.
Q: Are the shoulder straps adjustable? How can I carry it? A: Yes—this model features two adjustable shoulder straps for backpack/shoulder carry and a chain‑link top handle for hand carry. Strap and handle drops are noted under Measurements; if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Urban Spirit uses a CC turn‑lock flap over a drawstring closure, providing good everyday security. This piece includes one exterior back pocket and a black fabric interior with one zipped pocket and two slip pockets. Our listing photos show the exact configuration.
Q: Is it comfortable for all‑day wear? A: The adjustable shoulder straps offer a comfortable day‑to‑day carry for typical essentials. The chain top handle is best for short hand carry. As with most fashion backpacks, we recommend keeping weight moderate to avoid strain and to help preserve the bag’s structure.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies black quilted leather with silver‑tone hardware and a black fabric interior. It is stamped Made in Italy. Our photos and description show the exact finish and details of this item.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather and hardware? A: Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim (especially with lighter garments). Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; if conditioning is desired, use a high‑quality neutral product very sparingly and test on a discreet area first. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag. To minimise imprints, place a soft cloth/felt between the chain/turn‑lock and the leather during storage and avoid hanging the bag by its straps for long periods.
Q: Will the chain or flap leave marks on the leather? A: Chain imprints or light hardware impressions can occur if the strap or flap rests against the leather during storage. Tuck the chain inside with protective felt/soft cloth, avoid overstuffing, and store the bag upright to minimise marks.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chanel bags feature “CHANEL” and a country‑of‑origin stamp inside (commonly France or Italy). Older models include a hologram serial sticker and often an authenticity card; more recent releases transitioned to embedded microchips. This item lists serial number 22169331, consistent with around 2016–2017. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help date this specific piece on request.
Q: Is the Urban Spirit Backpack still produced? A: The Urban Spirit was introduced in the mid‑2010s and availability has varied by season and region. Many configurations are no longer offered new; the pre‑loved market is the best way to find sought‑after sizes like the Large in black quilted leather.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories”; for this piece we note a box, dust bag and serial number tag. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial sticker/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
