A refined choice for business meetings or elegant evenings, this Chanel Matelassé card holder keeps your most-used cards close at hand. Its compact black finish slips into any pocket or mini bag, ideal for travel, city errands and minimalist days.
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: How many cards does the Chanel Matelassé card holder fit comfortably? A: With three exterior card slots and one central compartment, it typically holds 4–6 standard bank/ID cards comfortably, plus a few folded notes in the centre. Overfilling can stretch the pockets over time, even in durable caviar leather.
Q: Can I keep coins or a key in it? A: This is a slim, open card holder without a zip pocket, so it’s best for cards and folded cash only. Loose coins or keys may slip out and can add bulk, so a separate coin purse is recommended.
Q: What are the dimensions and layout? A: Approx. 7.5 × 10.5 × 0.5 cm. The layout is one central slip compartment and three exterior card slots. This compact size slides easily into mini bags, coat pockets and small crossbodies.
Q: Does it have RFID protection? A: Chanel card holders are not advertised as RFID‑blocking. Most contactless “skimming” risks are considered low; if you prefer extra shielding, use an RFID card sleeve inside the holder.
Q: What does the serial number 30413690 indicate, and what’s included with this piece? A: 30‑series serial numbers are associated by the resale industry with around 2021 production. This specific item comes with an authenticity card and a matching serial number tag, as listed. Chanel began rolling out microchips from 2021 onward, so newer pieces may no longer include authenticity cards—your set reflects the earlier system.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware real gold, and how should I look after it? A: The hardware is gold‑tone metal (not solid gold). Chanel discontinued 24k gold‑plated hardware in the late 2008 era; avoid abrasives and chemical cleaners. Wipe hardware gently with a soft, dry cloth after use.
Q: How do I care for caviar leather? A: Caviar (grained calfskin) is known for being resilient. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid oils, solvents and over‑saturation with water. Store upright in a breathable pouch, away from direct heat/sunlight, and avoid overfilling to prevent stretching. Stuff lightly with acid‑free tissue when not in use.
Q: Is this card holder unisex? A: Yes. The clean, compact design in black caviar leather with gold‑tone accents works well for any user and suits both pockets and small bags.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
