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 Deauville MM Tote? A: With approximate dimensions of 38 x 30 x 12 cm, the Deauville MM usually carries daily essentials with ease: a 13‑inch laptop (in a slim sleeve), A4 documents/notebook, tablet, long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle and a light scarf. Capacity can vary slightly by edition—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 and standard tablets fit comfortably. Slim 14‑inch devices may fit, but 15‑inch laptops are typically too large for a relaxed fit. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown, or contact us and we’ll perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: Are the straps adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Deauville MM features dual top handles (approx. 9 cm drop) and chainlink/leather shoulder straps (approx. 32 cm drop). Straps are not adjustable. It’s designed for hand and shoulder carry; crossbody wear is generally not intended due to the shorter drop.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Many Deauville totes are open‑top with a central magnetic/snap feature for everyday use. Interiors commonly include a mix of slip and zip pockets, and some editions include a detachable pouch. For this piece, you’ll find three interior pockets and a detachable pochette; please review our photos and description for the exact closure on this bag. For commuting, we recommend placing smaller valuables in the detachable pochette or any zipped pocket if present.
Q: What are the materials and hardware on this piece? A: This bag is crafted in white striped canvas with silver‑tone hardware and a tonal interior lining. It is made in Italy, as noted in our listing.
Q: How should I care for light‑coloured canvas and the leather/chain straps? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim and garments. For canvas, gently brush off dust and spot‑clean sparingly with a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water (test first on a discreet area; avoid saturating the fabric). For smooth leather, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and condition very sparingly with a neutral product after testing. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve structure and strap alignment.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chanel bags typically feature “CHANEL” and a country of origin heat‑stamp inside (Italy for this piece). Older models include a hologram serial sticker and may have an authenticity card; from around 2021 Chanel transitioned to embedded microchips/NFC tags instead of visible stickers/cards. Placement and format vary by era—we’re happy to share close‑up photos and help date this specific item on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: This bag is delivered with a detachable pochette and a serial NFC tag; any other inclusions will be listed under “Accessories.” If something isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. 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.
Q: There’s mention of a light vintage smell—can it be reduced? A: Yes—air the bag gently in a cool, dry room away from direct sunlight and heat. You can place odour‑absorbing sachets (unscented charcoal or baking soda in a nearby open container, not directly on the bag) close to it for a few days. Avoid spraying perfumes or harsh deodorisers onto the materials. If you’d like further odour‑reduction, a specialist luxury bag care service can help.
Q: How should I store the Deauville MM to maintain its shape? A: Store it upright and lightly stuffed (use clean, acid‑free tissue or a soft bag pillow) in a breathable dust bag. Keep the chain/metal parts protected from rubbing the fabric—place a soft cloth between the chain and the bag. Avoid hanging the tote by its straps for extended periods, and keep it away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to preserve the canvas and hardware finish.
