Ideal for back-to-office days and polished city errands, this vintage Chanel CC Coco Tote in brown grained leather adds refined structure to suiting and denim alike. With sculpted top handles and a secure magnetic closure, it carries your daytime essentials in effortless Parisian style.
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 CC Coco Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 29 × 29 × 11.5 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small make‑up pouch, and a tablet/e‑reader. A4 paper measures about 21 × 29.7 cm, so slim A4 documents may fit but the top edge can be snug. Most 13‑inch laptops are wider than 29 cm and are not a comfortable fit; compact 11–12‑inch devices are recommended. Please refer to the Measurements and photos for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is approximately 7.5 cm, so this style is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm rather than on the shoulder.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This vintage Coco Tote was conceived as a handheld design with dual sculpted top handles and does not include a strap or strap attachments.
Q: How secure is the closure, and will the magnet affect my cards or phone? A: It closes with a magnetic snap for quick, discreet security. Modern chip‑enabled bank cards and smartphones are generally unaffected by everyday handbag magnets; however, prolonged direct contact can demagnetise the magnetic stripe on hotel key cards or older cards. We suggest storing stripe‑based cards in a separate holder inside the bag.
Q: When was this piece produced and where? A: The serial number 8082942 dates the bag to circa 2003–2004. The interior stamp indicates it was made in Italy. As a vintage early‑2000s piece, production is no longer current.
Q: What can you tell me about the hardware on this era of Chanel bags? A: Chanel bags made before around 2008 often featured 24‑karat gold‑plated hardware. This tote has gold‑tone hardware with light surface scratches consistent with careful use. As with all vintage pieces, exact metallurgy varies by season and is assessed alongside the photos provided.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and lining? A: Grained leather is resilient, but benefits from gentle care: wipe with a soft, slightly damp, lint‑free cloth; avoid harsh solvents; keep away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture; and store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag. For hardware, use a non‑abrasive jewellery cloth only. A felt organiser can help keep the CC logo fabric lining clean. For deep cleaning or repairs, we recommend a specialist leather care professional.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. 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.
Q: Are there any condition notes I should be aware of? A: Overall Very Good vintage condition with light signs of wear. The lining has a small tear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for a close‑up view of these details.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks across materials, stitching, stamps, serial sticker, and hardware, cross‑referenced with period‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional information on request.
