Delivery & Returns
Q: What fits inside the Valentino Garavani Vain Chain Bag? A: With measurements of 24 x 16 x 8 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a mobile phone, cardholder or compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and a few small extras. It offers a neatly structured interior, but it is not designed for bulkier items such as a tablet or larger pouch.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: This piece features a tonal leather lining with three compartments and one zip pocket, which helps keep smaller essentials more organised throughout the day.
Q: How is the bag carried? A: This bag features a chain strap with a listed drop of 31 cm and an adjustable style. It is ideal for shoulder wear, and the exact fit will depend on personal height and styling preference, so we recommend checking the measurements shown on this page before purchasing.
Q: Does it have a secure closure? A: Yes. The bag closes with a magnetic flap closure, making it easy to access while still keeping everyday essentials neatly contained.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows visible scratches and marks on the leather, the interior has scuffs and scratches with signs of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage items, these signs of wear are part of the bag's history.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes a box and dust bag. Everything included with the purchase is shown in the product information on this page.
Q: How should I care for smooth leather on a vintage Valentino bag? A: Smooth leather can show scratches more easily than grained finishes, so it is best to handle the bag with clean, dry hands, avoid overfilling it, and keep it away from rain, rough surfaces, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. When not in use, store it in its dust bag and lightly stuff it to help maintain the shape.
Q: Is this a good day-to-evening bag? A: Yes. The structured shape, black leather and gold-tone hardware make it easy to style for both daytime use and evening wear. It is roomy enough for essentials while still keeping a polished, refined silhouette.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware and brand details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
