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 CC Fringe Bag? A: With compact dimensions of approximately 18.5 × 13 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone up to about 15 cm when placed horizontally, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm, and slim sunglasses in a soft pouch. Capacity varies with how you pack—please compare our measurements with your essentials.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The interwoven leather-and-chain strap is fixed (non-adjustable) with an approximate 43 cm drop. It’s ideal as a shoulder bag and may wear as a higher crossbody depending on your height and build.
Q: Is the tassel or fringe removable? A: The leather tassel is attached to the zip pull and is not designed to be removed.
Q: What does the serial number 1097672 indicate? A: This seven‑digit number beginning with “1” is part of the 1‑series, dating the piece to approximately 1989–1991. Serial numbers help narrow the production window but do not authenticate an item on their own; construction and materials must also be reviewed.
Q: Is the gold-tone hardware real gold? A: Many vintage Chanel bags produced prior to late 2008 featured 24k gold‑plated hardware (plating over a base metal), not solid gold. Plating can show gentle wear with use. This piece is described as gold‑tone; exact plating cannot be confirmed without laboratory testing.
Q: How should I care for the leather and the tassel? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep the bag away from prolonged light and humidity, and if it becomes damp, blot with a non‑pilling cloth. When storing, lightly stuff the bag, lay the tassel flat, and wrap the chain to prevent imprints.
Q: Is this Chanel CC tassel camera style still in production? A: No—this is a vintage, discontinued design that is no longer part of Chanel’s current collection, which adds to its collectable appeal.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box or card is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: Will my phone fit (e.g., iPhone/Android)? A: Most standard smartphones fit when placed horizontally. Larger “Plus/Max/Ultra” sizes typically fit without a bulky case, but we recommend checking your device dimensions against the bag’s interior measurements above.
