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 Graffiti Art School Backpack? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 26 × 12 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, AirPods, a small cosmetics pouch and a small water bottle. An 11‑inch tablet/iPad usually fits; a slim A4 document folder can fit vertically but may be snug at the curved zip opening. Most 13‑inch laptops do not fit comfortably. If you’d like a tailored fit check for this exact piece, just ask and we’ll test it for you.
Q: How does it carry and are the straps adjustable? A: This model features a single top handle and dual adjustable shoulder straps with chain detail for comfortable backpack wear. The top handle (approx. 6 cm drop) is useful for quick hand carry; the shoulder straps can be adjusted to fine‑tune the fit. We list the strap drop under Measurements (approx. 29 cm for this piece)—if you need it confirmed, we’re happy to measure again.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The backpack has a zip‑around main closure for everyday security, plus one external front pocket for quick‑access items. Inside, there’s grey fabric lining with one internal zipped pocket to keep valuables organised. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this backpack have? A: It is crafted in grey graffiti‑printed canvas with aged silver‑tone hardware. The Graffiti/Art School line is known for its art‑inspired graphics and a casual, street‑style aesthetic; details can vary slightly by season and colourway, but this specific piece matches the features listed on this page.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It’s best suited to tablets and slim documents. The 26 cm width and zip‑around opening make most 13‑inch laptops too large; very compact devices or small ultrabooks may fit only without a bulky sleeve. Compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or ask us for a quick fit check.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and printed finish? A: Keep it away from heavy rain and potential colour transfer (e.g., dark denim). For light marks, gently blot with a soft, slightly damp cloth—avoid harsh chemicals or soaking. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad or tuck the chain/straps to minimise imprints or rubbing against the canvas.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and what does the serial number indicate? A: Authentic Chanel bags feature interior brand stamps and, for pieces from this era, a hologram serial sticker that matches an authenticity card. A serial beginning with 19 typically indicates production around 2014. This specific backpack bears serial 19449217 and is delivered with an authenticity card and serial number tag, as listed under Accessories.
Q: Is the Graffiti/Art School backpack still produced? A: The Graffiti/Art School backpacks were seasonal runway pieces introduced in 2014 and are no longer produced. They are sought‑after on the pre‑loved market, with availability varying by colourway and size.
Q: Can Chanel repair or service this bag? A: Chanel offers after‑sales services subject to assessment and parts availability. Lead times and costs vary by region, model and the work required. Independent luxury bag specialists can also perform cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment if desired.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this item, we list authenticity card and serial number tag under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial sticker and overall construction; we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: Where is this piece made and what is its condition? A: This backpack is labelled Made in Italy. It is in Very Good condition with light traces of use inside and out; the hardware has an intentionally distressed finish with light scratches. Please review our detailed photos and condition notes for a closer look.
