Very Good Condition
Perfect for festival weekends, city breaks and summer rooftops, this clear PVC Chanel backpack brings a playful, modern edge while keeping essentials easy to spot. Black quilted leather accents and dual chain-and-leather straps dress up casual looks, ideal for hands-free days and after-dark plans.
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 backpack? A: With approximate measurements of 22 × 23 × 11.5 cm (about 8.7 × 9.1 × 4.5 in), it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, sunglasses, keys, small cosmetics and a compact tablet (mini-sized). It will not fit a laptop. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: How is the bag organised? A: The design features a clear PVC body with black quilted leather trim, a flap top secured by a CC turn-lock, a fabric-lined main compartment for larger items and a practical zip‑around lower compartment ideal for smaller pieces you want to reach quickly (for example, keys or travel cards). Dual chain‑and‑leather shoulder straps allow backpack carry. The strap drop is approximately 35 cm as measured by us.
Q: Is the PVC waterproof—can I use it in the rain? A: PVC itself is water‑resistant and easy to wipe dry, but a handbag is never fully waterproof because seams, zips and leather trim can allow moisture in. Light rain is fine with sensible care; for heavy rain, we recommend using a cover and drying the bag with a soft cloth afterwards to protect the leather and hardware.
Q: Will the clear PVC yellow or go cloudy over time? A: Clear PVC can gradually discolour or lose clarity with UV exposure, heat and certain chemicals. To help preserve transparency, avoid prolonged direct sunlight or high heat, keep it away from alcohol/solvent‑based products, and wipe it clean after wear. Storing it cool, dry and out of light will slow ageing.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe the PVC gently with a soft microfibre cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap; then buff dry. Do not use alcohol, acetone, disinfectant wipes or abrasive cleaners. For the leather trim, use a suitable leather conditioner sparingly and avoid contact with dark or heavily dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. If deeper care is needed, consult a professional handbag care specialist.
Q: Is this backpack allowed under stadium or concert clear‑bag rules? A: Many venues operate clear‑bag policies that permit transparent PVC bags up to specific size limits (often around 12 × 6 × 12 inches) and sometimes restrict backpacks altogether or limit bags to A4 size. This backpack is smaller than many of those maximums by volume, but policies vary widely, so please check your venue’s rules before attending.
Q: Which collection is this from, and what does the serial number mean? A: Chanel introduced several transparent PVC designs around the Spring/Summer 2018 season with an aquatic theme. The 25‑series serial number on this piece (25721340) aligns with production circa 2018. As always, production timing is approximate and based on Chanel serial reference guides.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under Product information on this page. For this piece, the serial number tag is present. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed in Product information, it is not included.
Q: How should I store it to maintain shape and clarity? A: Store the backpack lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, chains tucked and wrapped to avoid impressions on the PVC. Keep it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures; PVC can become stiffer in very cold conditions and soften in high heat, so avoid both.
