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 Patent CC Chain Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 28 x 23 x 6 cm, this tote is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a slim notebook. Its 6 cm depth gives it a sleek profile, so it is better for organised essentials than bulky items or most laptops.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes, it is designed as a shoulder tote with dual chain-and-leather straps. The listed strap measurement is 39 cm, which generally suits shoulder wear well. As with many chain-strap bags, comfort depends on how much you carry and what you are wearing, but the leather-woven design is usually easier to wear than a plain metal chain.
Q: Is black patent leather practical for everyday use? A: Yes, black patent leather can work very well for everyday use if you like a polished, glossy finish. Dark patent usually hides age better than lighter patent shades, but the shiny surface can still show fingerprints, light scuffs and scratches more readily than matte leather.
Q: How should I care for vintage patent leather? A: For routine care, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid oils, heavy creams, alcohol-based cleaners and rough rubbing, as these can affect the glossy coating. Store the bag upright in its dust bag, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and avoid friction against rough or dark fabrics.
Q: Are the scuffs and scratches mentioned on this bag normal for a vintage patent Chanel? A: Yes. This piece is listed in good condition, with scuffs and scratches on the patent leather, light traces of use inside, and light scratches on the hardware. On vintage patent leather, this type of wear is common and should be expected to some degree.
Q: Does this bag come with a dust bag or authenticity card? A: The product information lists a dust bag and serial number with the bag. An authenticity card is not listed in the product information, so it should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed separately.
Q: The serial number is listed as illegible. Is that unusual for a vintage Chanel bag? A: No, that can happen on older Chanel bags as internal serial stickers wear down over time. A faded or illegible serial number is not automatically a red flag on a vintage piece, although it can matter to some collectors and may affect how easy the bag is to date at a glance.
Q: Can a vintage Chanel still be authenticated if the serial number is hard to read? A: Yes. A proper authentication review looks at much more than the serial sticker alone, including materials, stitching, logo details, hardware and overall construction. On vintage Chanel bags, wear to the sticker can occur, so authentication should always be based on the full bag rather than one detail by itself.
