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 Vintage CC Tote? A: With approximate dimensions of 29 × 26 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary/notebook and an 11-inch tablet. A4 documents may fit diagonally but are snug; most 13-inch laptops do not fit comfortably. Please compare your items to the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This vintage CC Tote has dual top handles and no long strap. With a handle drop of about 13 cm, it’s ideal for hand carry or the crook of the arm; some wearers may manage a short shoulder carry depending on build and clothing layers. It’s not designed for crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the CC turn‑lock closure? A: The CC turn‑lock provides good day‑to‑day security for the main opening. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and placing valuables in the interior zip pocket. Avoid overfilling to maintain closure alignment and the tote’s shape.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: This piece features a brown logo‑jacquard textile lining with a single main compartment and one internal zip pocket. Our listing photos show the exact configuration and condition of the interior.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: The listing specifies brown grained (caviar‑style) leather with gold‑tone hardware and an Italian origin stamp. Many Chanel vintage bags from this era feature 24K gold‑plated hardware, but plating can vary—contact us if you’d like us to confirm the hardware finish on this exact bag.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and hardware? A: Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly and test first on a discreet area. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and place a soft cloth between the handles and leather to minimise imprints. Hardware can develop hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces and contact with zips or keys.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Standard tablets up to about 11 inches typically fit well. Larger tablets (e.g., 12.9-inch iPad Pro) can be snug due to height, and most 13-inch laptops do not fit comfortably. Compare your device’s measurements with those listed, or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: Where are the brand markings and serial code located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chanel bags include interior brand stamps and a country‑of‑origin stamp (this piece is Made in Italy), plus a hologram serial sticker. A 7‑series code generally indicates early 2000s production, though dating should be assessed alongside other details. Placement can vary by era—we’re happy to share close‑ups and help interpret the serial for this exact bag.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece we note a serial number tag. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial sticker and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: Is this CC Tote still produced, and can Chanel service it? A: This specific vintage CC Tote configuration is discontinued, so the pre‑loved market is the best way to find it. Chanel boutiques may offer repairs subject to assessment and parts availability; independent luxury leather specialists can also provide cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.
