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 Denim Chocolate Bar Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 25 × 14 × 4.5 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few cosmetics. It has a slim profile, so bulkier items like water bottles or tablets are not recommended. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: The bag has a single flat leather shoulder strap with an approximate 32 cm drop. It is not adjustable or removable and is designed to be worn on the shoulder rather than crossbody.
Q: How does it close and what is the interior like? A: It features a CC logo clasp closure. The interior is lined in brown pinstriped fabric with one internal pocket, offering a tidy space for small essentials.
Q: What does the serial number 6232825 indicate? A: This is a 6‑series, seven‑digit code that dates the piece to around 2000–2002, placing it in the pre‑microchip era (Chanel introduced microchips around 2021).
Q: Is the Chocolate Bar line still produced by Chanel? A: No. The Chocolate Bar design is no longer part of Chanel’s current collections and is found on the pre‑loved market, which adds to its collectability.
Q: How should I care for the denim and leather trim? A: Avoid overfilling, and keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight and moisture. Store it upright in a breathable dust bag, with the strap tucked inside. For denim, gently spot‑clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Allow the bag to dry fully before storing or wearing.
Q: Will the denim cause or be affected by colour transfer? A: Indigo dyes can transfer in both directions. Dark clothing—especially new denim—may rub off onto the bag, and richly dyed denim bags can transfer onto light garments. Minimise prolonged contact between light and dark materials, consider a fabric protector designed for denim, and be cautious in wet or humid conditions. For set‑in dye transfer, consult a handbag‑care specialist.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The origin label states France.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this listing specifies a serial number tag. If an item such as a dust bag, box or authenticity card is not listed in the product information, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly reviewed by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and serial codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information or photos on request.
