Q: What is the Chanel Vanity Case Pouch? A: This is a vintage accessory originally designed for holding cosmetics, now highly coveted as a statement top-handle or shoulder bag. It features Chanel's signature black Caviar leather, a zip-around closure, and a structured, boxy silhouette reminiscent of classic luggage.
Q: Can this vanity case be worn as a shoulder bag? A: Yes. While it features a sturdy top handle for hand carrying, this specific piece also includes a detachable shoulder strap with a 50 cm drop, allowing you to wear it comfortably on the shoulder or crossbody.

It can accommodate a large smartphone, a compact wallet, keys, and various makeup items. The interior also features elasticated holders originally designed for bottles or brushes, which help keep smaller items organised.
Q: What year was this item manufactured? A: The serial number 4066845 indicates that this piece was produced between 1996 and 1997, making it a classic vintage item from the mid-90s.
Q: What is Caviar leather? A: Caviar leather is a grained calfskin known for its pebbled texture. It is one of Chanel’s most durable materials, highly resistant to scratches and water, making it an excellent choice for frequent use.

Q: Where is it made? A: This Chanel Vanity Case is made in Italy, as indicated by the country of origin label.
Q: How should I store and care for this bag? A: To maintain its boxy shape, we recommend storing the bag stuffed with acid-free tissue paper when not in use. Keep it in a dry environment away from direct sunlight. Caviar leather can be wiped gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust.
