This Chanel Wallet On Chain in black patent leather is in very good condition, with light traces of use and lightly scratched hardware. Ideal for dinners, parties, and evenings out, it brings polished elegance to both tailored looks and occasionwear.
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 Wallet On Chain Bag? A: This style is designed for essentials rather than daily bulk. With approximate measurements of 19 x 13 x 3 cm, it will usually hold cards, folded notes, a phone, lipstick, and a few small necessities. Because the interior is organised like a wallet, using the built-in card slots helps free up space in the main compartment.
Q: Does it fit a phone? A: In most cases, yes. A standard smartphone will usually fit, especially without a bulky case. Larger phones or thicker cases may be a tighter fit, so we always recommend comparing your device to the measurements shown on this page before purchasing.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The Chanel Wallet On Chain is loved for its hands-free crossbody wear, and this item has an approximate strap drop of 53 cm. On classic WOC styles, the chain is usually fixed rather than fully adjustable, but many owners also wear it on the shoulder or tuck the chain inside to carry it as a clutch.
Q: Is the Chanel WOC more like a bag or a wallet? A: It is a blend of both. Chanel’s WOC combines the organised interior of a wallet with the look and practicality of a compact bag, which is why it is especially popular for evenings, travel, and occasions when you only need the essentials.
Q: What interior features does a classic Chanel WOC usually have? A: Classic Chanel WOC styles are known for their practical layout, typically including card slots, slim compartments, and a zipped section to help keep small essentials organised. This is one of the reasons the model remains so popular despite its compact size.
Q: How should patent leather be cared for? A: Patent leather has a glossy finish but still needs gentle care. It is best to wipe it with a soft cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and protect it from prolonged sunlight, moisture, and colour transfer from darker fabrics. For storage, keep it upright and avoid pressure on the surface so the finish stays smooth and shiny.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all pre-owned luxury pieces, small signs of age and handling are normal.
Q: Does this item come with any original box, card, or other extras? A: No extra product information is listed for this item. If an original box, card, dust bag, or similar item is not shown in the photos or stated in the product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, and serial details. For this piece, the serial number listed is C35AL317, and the country of origin label is France.
