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 Caviar CC Boston Bag (35 × 21 × 18 cm)? A: It comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop or tablet, A4 documents, a wash bag, a small water bottle, and daily essentials like a wallet and phone. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is this size suitable as airline cabin baggage? A: At approximately 35 cm in length, it is smaller than the usual 55 cm cabin limit used by many airlines and is typically suitable as a carry‑on or personal item. Requirements can vary by carrier and aircraft, so please check with your airline before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This model is designed with dual rolled top handles for handheld carry. Some Boston 35 variants were produced with a removable shoulder strap, but a strap is not included unless it is specifically listed in the product information for this item.
Q: How durable is Chanel caviar leather in everyday use? A: Caviar is a pebbled calfskin known for its structure and resistance to surface scratches and scuffs, making it well suited to daily and travel use. It generally holds its shape better than softer leathers over time.
Q: Can I use this bag in light rain? A: Occasional light rain is usually manageable, but caviar leather is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and dry the bag promptly with a clean, absorbent, non‑pilling cloth if it gets wet. Prolonged sunlight and heat should also be avoided.
Q: How should I clean and store caviar leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils, or coloured cloths that may transfer dye. For storage, keep the bag loosely stuffed to maintain its shape, close the zip to support the structure, and place it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage bag if the serial sticker is worn or illegible? A: Serial stickers and the matching authenticity card were used by Chanel for decades, but they are only one element of authentication. Our team performs multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional details on request.
Q: What items are included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag, strap, or keys is not listed there, it is not included with this specific piece.
Q: Is the handle drop suitable for wearing on the crook of the arm? A: Yes. The handle drop is approximately 12 cm, which is comfortable for handheld carry and the crook of the arm for most wearers.
