Its polished bowling silhouette and dual interlaced chain straps make it an elegant choice for lunch in the city, evening drinks, or adding a refined finish to everyday tailoring.
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 Chanel Mademoiselle Bowling Patent Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 x 16 x 15 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a compact, and a small cosmetic pouch. Please use the Measurements on this page as your best guide for exact fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This style is designed as a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody. It has dual interlaced chain straps and a listed strap drop of approximately 20 cm, so it should sit comfortably on the shoulder for most users, though it may feel slightly snug over bulky outerwear.
Q: Is patent leather a practical material for regular use? A: Patent leather offers a glossy finish and is usually easy to wipe after light surface contact, but it still benefits from careful handling. Like many patent bags, it can develop creasing, light marks, or colour transfer over time if rubbed against dark dyes or stored carelessly.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and do not overfill it. Store it upright in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain shape, and keep chains from pressing into the leather. It is also best to avoid prolonged sunlight, moisture, and contact with dark or heavily dyed fabrics.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information for this specific piece, it comes with a dust bag, authenticity card, and serial number. If an item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Does the authenticity card alone confirm authenticity? A: The authenticity card and serial number are important supporting details for pre-loved Chanel, but they are only part of the overall picture. Materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and serial details should all align, which is why expert authentication remains important.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition overall. The exterior shows minor scuffing on the corners, the interior has a light trace of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. These are consistent with careful prior wear on a pre-loved patent bag.
Q: What are the key design details of this piece? A: This version features black quilted patent leather, silver-tone hardware, dual interlaced chain straps, and a red textile lining with an internal pocket. The bowling silhouette gives it a structured yet easy day-to-evening feel.
