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 Wallet On Chain? A: Despite its slim profile, it comfortably holds a smartphone, slim keys, lipstick and small daily essentials. The interior is organised with multiple card slots and zipped/flat pockets, so you can skip a separate cardholder to maximise space. Please refer to the Measurements on this page (approx. 19 × 12.3 × 3.5 cm) for exact sizing.
Q: Will an iPhone Pro Max fit inside? A: Many WOC owners report that larger phones can fit without a bulky case when placed horizontally or at a slight angle. Fit can vary by phone generation and case thickness, so comparing your device to the 19 cm width and 12.3 cm height is recommended. If you use a thick case, you may need to remove it for a comfortable fit.
Q: How can this WOC be worn and is the chain removable? A: The approx. 60 cm chain drop on this piece allows crossbody or long‑shoulder wear. You can double the chain for a shorter shoulder look or tuck it inside to carry the WOC as a clutch. The chain is not designed to be detachable.
Q: What is the interior layout of a classic WOC? A: Typical WOC architecture includes six card slots in the main compartment, a zipped pocket with two slips, a long zip pocket inside the flap, and an exterior back slip pocket that’s ideal for tickets or a travel card.
Q: How should I care for python skin? A: Handle gently and keep it away from moisture, oils, and prolonged sunlight or heat. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth in the direction of the scales; do not rub against the grain. Store stuffed lightly in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place. For deep cleaning or conditioning, use a specialist experienced in exotic leathers only.
Q: Some scales look slightly lifted—is that normal? A: Yes. Subtle lifting or curling of scales is characteristic of genuine python and can increase with wear or humidity. Do not pick, trim, or glue scales. Keep the bag dry and cool and seek an exotic‑leather specialist if lifting becomes pronounced.
Q: Are there travel or import restrictions with python bags? A: Many countries regulate cross‑border movement of python under CITES. Depending on your route, permits or certificates may be required even for personal items. If you plan to have the bag shipped internationally or to travel across borders with it, please check current rules with your local authority in advance. We can advise on what paperwork, if any, is available for this item.
Q: Is light beige python prone to colour transfer? A: Light‑coloured leathers can pick up dye from dark fabrics (especially new/raw denim) through friction and moisture. Avoid prolonged contact with dark textiles and clean gently as soon as you notice marks. For stubborn dye transfer, consult a professional leather care specialist.
Q: What does the serial number 18631759 tell me? A: An eight‑digit Chanel serial beginning with 18 typically indicates production around 2013–2014. Serial numbers are just one checkpoint; our authentication also reviews materials, stitching, stamps and hardware holistically.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, that currently includes the box and serial number tag. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
