Perfect for polished city days and dinner dates, this vintage Chanel hobo in black quilted leather adds effortless elegance to any look. The gold-tone accents and CC turn-lock bring classic allure, while the comfortable shoulder strap keeps essentials close on the go—ideal from brunch to gallery openings and after-dark events.
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: Is this a vintage Chanel piece and what does the serial number mean? A: Yes. The serial begins with 6 (6******), which dates this bag to approximately 2000–2002. It comes with a serial number tag as noted in the product information. Our in‑house experts have authenticated this item using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps.
Q: What typically fits inside this CC Quilted Hobo (approx. 30 × 21 × 8 cm)? A: It comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses in a soft case and a small makeup pouch. A slim 500 ml water bottle can fit. A4 documents, laptops and most tablets over about 10 inches will not fit. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: The single flat shoulder strap has a drop of about 24 cm and is not adjustable. It is designed to be worn on the shoulder or under the arm rather than crossbody for most heights.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap top features a CC turn‑lock closure. Inside, there is also a zipped pocket for small valuables. Ensure the turn‑lock is properly engaged before carrying.
Q: Is the hardware real gold, and will it tarnish? A: The hardware is gold‑tone. Many Chanel bags from this era (pre‑2008) were plated in 24k gold; however, composition can vary by model and year, so we do not guarantee the exact plating on this piece. Light surface scratches are noted and are typical of gentle use; avoid abrasives to preserve the finish.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather? A: Do not overfill, and avoid prolonged contact between light and dark colours to minimise colour transfer. If the bag gets wet, blot gently with a soft, absorbent, non‑pilling cloth. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use; for lambskin‑type surfaces, gently rub marks in a small circular motion. Store upright, lightly stuffed, with the strap protected and in a breathable dust bag. For deep cleaning or restoration, use a trusted luxury leather specialist rather than home products.
Q: Where was it made, and does “Made in Italy” affect authenticity? A: Authentic Chanel handbags are produced in France and Italy. A “Made in Italy” stamp is normal for genuine pieces and indicates the production location only; it does not imply a difference in quality.
Q: Does this bag have an authenticity card or microchip? A: As a 2000–2002 piece, it belongs to the serial‑sticker era. The inclusions for this listing are shown in the product information (for this bag, a serial number tag is included). Since 2021, Chanel has replaced serial stickers and authenticity cards with an embedded microchip on new releases; this change does not apply to this vintage bag.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: Everything supplied is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a serial number tag is included. If you require clarification on any inclusions, please contact us.
Q: What are the key condition notes for this item? A: Very good overall. There is visible scuffing on the corners and light scratches to the leather; the hardware remains shiny with light hairline marks. The interior shows light traces of use. Please review the photos and condition grading for full details.
