Perfect for city weekends, gallery visits and chic commutes, this vintage Chanel CC Caviar Backpack brings hands-free elegance to everyday plans. Crafted in black quilted caviar leather with gold-toned accents, it transitions effortlessly from brunch to late dinners and light travel, elevating denim and tailoring alike.
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 CC Caviar Backpack? A: With approximate measurements of 43 × 28 × 20 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics case, a compact umbrella, a water bottle and an A4 notebook or document folder. A large tablet (such as a 12.9-inch iPad Pro in a slim case) should fit; most 13-inch laptops are likely too wide for the 28 cm interior, so please measure your device and compare with the Measurements on this page.
Q: Are the straps adjustable and is it comfortable to wear? A: Yes. This vintage design features adjustable backstraps to help you find a comfortable fit, plus a single top handle (approx. 11 cm) for hand carry. Please refer to the Measurements for specific strap details.
Q: How secure is the closure for everyday use or travel? A: The bag closes with a drawstring that sits under a flap secured by a CC turn-lock. Cinch the drawstring fully and fasten the turn-lock for a two-step closure. For added peace of mind, place valuables in the interior pouch and keep the bag worn close to the body in crowded areas.
Q: How durable is Chanel caviar leather compared with lambskin? A: Caviar leather is a pebbled calfskin known for its structured feel and better resistance to surface scratches and day-to-day wear than smooth lambskin. It still benefits from mindful use—avoid colour transfer from dark denim, abrasive surfaces and prolonged exposure to heat or sunlight.
Q: How should I clean and store this caviar leather backpack? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. For occasional deeper cleaning, use a specialist leather cleaner suitable for grain calfskin and test first on a discreet area. Do not use household wipes, oils or heavy conditioners. Store the bag loosely stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct light and humidity. If the bag gets wet, blot (don’t rub) and allow it to air dry naturally.
Q: Can the gold-tone hardware be polished or refreshed? A: Light micro-scratches and a bit of dullness are typical on vintage plated hardware. Avoid abrasive polishes, which can remove plating. If you wish to improve the finish, consult a professional leather and hardware specialist for gentle buffing or re-plating; availability of exact vintage-tone parts varies.
Q: The serial number sticker is illegible—can the bag still be authenticated? A: Yes. Many genuine vintage Chanel bags have worn or missing stickers. Authentication relies on a multi-point assessment of materials, quilting, stamps, hardware, stitching and construction, not solely on a readable sticker. Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in-house experts, and we stand behind its authenticity.
Q: Will Chanel service or repair a vintage backpack like this? A: Chanel’s client care programme can assess vintage pieces for cleaning or repairs, but acceptance and available services vary by item and condition, and lead times differ by boutique. Typical services may include cleaning, some hardware work and minor stitch repairs; major structural work or non-original parts may not be offered.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section for transparency. For this piece, that includes a detachable pouch and a serial number tag. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
