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 Suede Fringe Crossbody Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 19 × 5 cm, it is best suited to essentials such as a phone, a small wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few slim daily items. Its slim depth means it is better for light carry rather than bulkier pieces like a large purse, water bottle, or tablet.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The single chain strap is listed at 60 cm, which generally gives a comfortable crossbody drop on many frames. Depending on your height and styling preference, it may also sit as a long shoulder bag.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: Is this bag vintage, and what does the serial number indicate? A: Yes, this is a vintage Chanel piece. The serial number 5763732 is a 5-series number, which is commonly associated with late-1990s production, approximately 1997 to 1999. As with all Chanel bags, the serial number helps date the bag but should be considered alongside the full construction and detailing.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: This item includes the serial number noted in the product information. No authenticity card, box, dust bag, or other extras are listed, so only what appears in the product information should be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for red suede? A: Suede is beautiful but delicate. It is best kept away from rain, heavy humidity, oils, and rough surfaces. Store the bag upright, lightly filled to help maintain its shape, and keep the chain wrapped so it does not press into the suede. A soft suede brush can help refresh the nap, while heavier marks are best handled by a suede specialist.
Q: Is suede suitable for everyday use? A: It can be used regularly if handled with care, but suede is more sensitive than many smooth or grained leathers. This makes the bag especially well suited to lighter day use, dinners, events, and dry-weather wear rather than heavy commuting or wet conditions.
Q: Will the red suede require extra care around clothing and colour transfer? A: Potentially, yes. As with many richly coloured and delicate finishes, it is wise to avoid prolonged rubbing against light fabrics, dark denim, or textured garments. Gentle handling helps preserve both the suede finish and the vibrancy of the colour.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel bag like this? A: Authentication should never rely on the serial number alone. Experts assess the overall quality of the suede, lining, hardware, construction, stamps, and serial details together. At A Retro Tale, all items are reviewed for authenticity before sale.
