Q: How do I care for vintage quilted leather and the jacquard lining?
A: To help preserve the bag, wipe the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from direct heat, rain and prolonged sunlight. Store it in a breathable dust bag and lightly stuff it when not in use to help maintain its shape. The interior lining should be kept clean and dry, and hardware should be handled carefully to minimise further scratching.

Q: How can I tell if a Chanel Cambon Ligne bag is authentic?
A: Authenticity should never be judged by one detail alone. Buyers usually look at the quality of the leather, stitching, quilting alignment, hardware, interior label details and serial sticker consistency. This item also comes with supporting product information, and every item sold by A Retro Tale is professionally authenticated before listing.
