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 fits inside the Chanel Patent Wallet On Chain? A: As the name implies, the Wallet On Chain (WOC) is designed as a wallet with the functionality of a small bag. It comfortably holds the essentials: a smartphone, keys, a lipstick and your cards (using the built-in slots). Due to its slim profile (approx. 3 cm depth), it does not typically fit sunglasses or bulky items. It is the perfect companion for evenings or light travel.
Q: Will my smartphone fit? A: Yes, with a width of 19 cm, the WOC generally accommodates most modern smartphones, including larger Pro/Max models. However, very bulky phone cases may make the fit snug, so we recommend a slim case for ease of use.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The chain strap has a generous drop of approximately 61 cm, making it ideal for crossbody wear on most frames. While the chain itself is not adjustable, many wearers shorten it for shoulder carry by looping the chain around the flap or using a small chain clip (not included) inside the bag.
Q: How do I care for patent leather? A: Patent leather is known for its high-gloss finish, but it requires specific care. Avoid prolonged contact with dark or pigmented materials (like denim or magazines) as colour transfer can be irreversible. It can also be sensitive to humidity, so store the bag in its breathable dust bag when not in use to prevent the finish from becoming sticky. Wipe fingerprints gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Q: Does this bag have the "secret" zipper pocket? A: Yes, this classic WOC model features the iconic zipped pocket inside the top flap. Legend has it that Coco Chanel used this spot to hide her love letters, and it extends the full depth of the flap, making it a unique feature of the design.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This model features a snap-button closure under the front flap. It provides good security for daily use, but we recommend avoiding overstuffing the bag to ensure the snap aligns correctly and stays closed securely.
Q: When was this bag manufactured? A: The serial number 17585263 indicates that this piece belongs to the 17-series, which corresponds to a production year of approximately 2012–2013.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This item includes the serial number tag attached inside. Any other original accessories (such as a dust bag, box or authenticity card) are only included if listed specifically under the “Accessories” section on this page. If not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial stickers and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
