This vintage Chanel Sun Charm Vertical Quilted Bag in dark brown leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition.

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 Sun Charm Vertical Quilted Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 35 x 22 x 11 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch and other slim necessities. It is better suited to everyday items than to a laptop bag role, and any tablet or small notebook fit will depend on the exact dimensions and the zip opening.
Q: Is this bag designed for shoulder or crossbody wear? A: This model is best worn on the shoulder. It has dual woven leather and chain shoulder straps, and the listed strap measurement of 45 cm suggests a comfortable shoulder carry rather than a true crossbody fit for most people.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: The design includes a front slip pocket for quick-access items and one internal zip pocket inside the main compartment. This gives you simple organisation for smaller essentials without adding bulk.
Q: What does the serial number tell me about the bag? A: The serial begins with 3, which places production in the 1994-1996 period. That matches the bag’s vintage character and helps date it to Chanel’s mid-1990s serial sticker era.
Q: What makes the Sun Charm style special? A: One of the standout details is the zip closure finished with a sun charm, paired with Chanel’s elegant vertical quilting and gold-tone hardware. It gives the bag a distinctive 1990s look that feels a little rarer and more playful than Chanel’s more familiar flap styles.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good. There is light wear on the corners, a few marks on the leather, light traces of use inside, and light scratches to the shiny hardware. For a vintage Chanel bag from the mid-1990s, these are normal signs of gentle wear.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: The product information lists a dust bag. No box or authenticity card is noted in the product information for this specific item.
Q: How should I care for and store a vintage Chanel leather bag like this? A: Avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged sunlight and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. When not in use, store it upright in its dust bag and place tissue around the chains to help protect the leather and preserve the shape.
Q: Is this a good everyday Chanel bag? A: Yes, if you want a vintage shoulder bag with enough room for everyday essentials. Community discussions around Chanel day bags often focus on capacity and comfort, and this size offers a practical balance between roominess and elegance. Because it is vintage, it is best suited to careful regular use rather than heavy-duty carrying.
