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 CC Hobo Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 33 × 29 × 7.5 cm (W × H × D), it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case and a 500 ml water bottle. An 11-inch tablet fits; slim A4 documents may go in horizontally but can be snug. A 13-inch laptop is not recommended due to the zip opening and shallow depth. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can the strap be worn crossbody? A: The single adjustable strap has an approximate 25 cm drop, making it best suited to shoulder carry (either close under the arm or slightly lower). It is generally too short for crossbody wear on most heights.
Q: When was this bag made based on the serial number 1588442? A: The serial number is a 1‑series (seven digits starting with 1), which dates the bag to approximately 1989–1991.
Q: Is the hardware real gold? A: Many Chanel bags from the late 1980s up to the 2000s were produced with 24k gold‑plated hardware. Given this piece dates to around 1989–1991, it may be from that gold‑plated era. However, we do not test for gold content and therefore describe it as gold‑tone. Expect normal vintage patina, light scratches and possible discolouration as noted in the Condition section.
Q: Is this exact CC Hobo model still produced by Chanel? A: No—this is a vintage style from a past collection. Chanel’s current assortments change seasonally, and while the House still offers hobo silhouettes, this specific CC Hobo configuration is no longer in current production.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Very Good vintage condition. There is some scuffing and darkening on the bottom corners, stains on the lining, and scratches/discolouration on the hardware. The structure, strap and zip remain sound for regular use. Please review all photos for details.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item includes the serial number tag. If an accessory (such as an authenticity card, dust bag or box) is not listed under Accessories, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the beige grained leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity, oils or perfumes, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark fabrics. Store it upright in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain shape, and wrap the strap to prevent imprinting.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: Yes. The medium hobo silhouette, zip‑top closure and internal pocket make it practical for daily essentials while the grained leather offers good durability against light scratches. Avoid overfilling to preserve the shape and corners over time.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
