This vintage Chanel Sport Line tote moves from city errands to weekend escapes. In brown canvas with a bold white logo and striped webbing handles, it pairs effortlessly with athleisure or casual denim. A zip top and slip pockets keep essentials organised—ideal for the gym, the office commute or a relaxed day out.
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 the Chanel Sport Line Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 32 × 17 cm, it comfortably holds a 13–14 inch laptop in a sleeve, A4 documents, a water bottle, a lightweight jumper, and daily essentials such as a wallet, keys, and phone. The top zip helps keep contents secure. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes, the handle drop is approximately 17 cm, which suits hand carry and, for most, shoulder carry over lighter layers. Fit can vary by body frame and outerwear.
Q: Is the canvas water-resistant? A: The canvas is durable but not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged humidity. If the bag gets wet, blot gently with an absorbent, non‑pilling cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat. To minimise colour transfer, avoid prolonged contact between light and dark colours.
Q: How should I clean and care for the exterior canvas and the cream vinyl lining? A: For routine care, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or solvents. Spot clean lightly if needed, testing any mild soap solution on a discreet area first. Store upright, loosely stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, and avoid overfilling to help maintain the shape.
Q: When was the Chanel Sport Line produced, and how can I date this tote? A: Sport Line pieces were produced mainly in the late 1990s and 2000s. Dating is typically done via the interior serial sticker and its number series: many vintage bags carry 7‑digit codes (earlier series) or 8‑digit codes (later series). Some examples of Sport Line totes have been attributed to windows such as 1997–1999 and 2008–2009. If you share the serial number with us, we can help interpret the production period.
Q: Does this listing include a card, dust bag or other extras? A: Everything included is always listed under product information on this page. This specific listing notes that no extras are included.
Q: What if the serial sticker or card is missing—does that affect authenticity? A: Many vintage Chanel bags have lost cards or have worn/partially lifted serial stickers over time; this alone does not determine authenticity. We authenticate holistically by evaluating materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction details. If a sticker is present, age‑related lifting of the protective film is common on pre‑loved pieces.
Q: Is this tote suitable for daily work, travel or the gym? A: Yes. The lightweight, soft‑sided build, zip closure and interior slip pockets make it a versatile everyday carry. It fits work essentials or a compact gym kit; avoid overfilling to preserve comfort and shape.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The label states Italy.
