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 Camellia Pouch On Chain? A: As a compact pouch on chain (approx. 16 × 10 × 2 cm per Measurements), it holds small essentials such as a slim smartphone, passport, small cardholder, folded notes/coins, a key fob and a lipstick. Capacity varies with how you pack; avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette.
Q: Will a large phone (e.g. iPhone Pro Max) fit? A: Very large phones can be too tight for this petite silhouette, especially with a case. Compare your device to the interior clearance and allow room for the zip. Standard-sized phones up to around 6.1 inches tend to fit best without a bulky case.
Q: Can the chain be worn crossbody? Is it adjustable or detachable? A: The chain-and-leather strap is designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. It is a fixed length and not designed to be detached. For a shorter drop, double the chain and tuck it inside to carry the pouch as a clutch. Please refer to Measurements on this page for the exact strap drop.
Q: How does a Pouch On Chain differ from a Wallet On Chain? A: A Pouch On Chain is a zipped mini bag with a simple main compartment (often with a small slip pocket), while a Wallet On Chain usually has a flap and integrated card slots and additional pockets. Both carry similar essentials; the pouch offers a cleaner, more open interior.
Q: What is the significance of the camellia motif? A: The camellia is one of Chanel’s most recognisable emblems, inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s favourite flower and reinterpreted across the house’s designs, including leather goods.
Q: How should I care for the pink camellia-embossed leather? A: Keep the bag away from prolonged light, heat and humidity. Light colours can pick up colour transfer from denim and other dark fabrics, so take care with outfits. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh products; on lambskin, a gentle circular buff can reduce the look of minor marks. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with the chain wrapped to prevent imprints.
Q: What does the serial number 18979146 indicate? A: This is an 8‑digit Chanel 18‑series code, which typically corresponds to late 2013 to early 2014 production. Serial numbers help with dating but are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information: box, authenticity card and serial number tag. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: France, as stated on the country of origin label.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Each item is vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, heat stamps, serial sticker and card, hardware engraving/plating, odour/UV inspections and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional product information on request.
