Elevate day-to-evening plans with this vintage Chanel CC Hobo in brown quilted lambskin and gold-tone hardware. The single shoulder strap and secure CC turn-lock keep essentials close at brunch, meetings or gallery nights, while its very good condition and warm hue lend timeless polish to denim, knits and tailored neutrals.
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 the Chanel CC Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 × 23 × 10 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook fits; bulker bottles or long umbrellas are better carried separately. Capacity can vary slightly with the soft hobo silhouette—please see our photos and Measurements for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: Slim tablets such as an iPad Air/11‑inch iPad Pro (without a bulky case) can often fit horizontally, though the curved top and turn‑lock flap make thicker devices snug. Compact e‑readers are typically fine. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll perform a tailored fit check for this bag.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This vintage CC Hobo features a single flat shoulder strap (approx. 26 cm drop) designed for shoulder carry. It is not intended for true crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: The front CC turn‑lock flap secures the main compartment for everyday use. Inside you’ll find a brown leather lining with one internal zipped pocket to organise smaller valuables. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and using the zipped pocket for essentials.
Q: What does the serial number 5593455 indicate? A: The 7‑digit 5‑series serial (5XXXXXX) dates the bag to approximately 1997–1999. Serial numbers help place the production period but do not identify the specific model. Placement and sticker style vary by era; our close‑up photos show the exact serial tag present on this piece.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware 24k gold‑plated? A: Many Chanel bags produced prior to around 2008 featured 24k gold‑plated hardware, though plating can vary by line and year. Our listing notes gold‑tone hardware for this item; if you’d like us to check for relevant hallmarks or confirm plating characteristics for this exact bag, just ask and we’ll inspect it for you.
Q: How should I care for the lambskin leather? A: Keep it away from heavy moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear; avoid harsh cleaners or heavy conditioners that can alter the finish. To reduce the look of light surface marks on lambskin, gently rub in small circular motions with a clean, soft cloth. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and wrap the strap/hardware to prevent impressions.
Q: Will the leather scratch easily or show colour transfer? A: Lambskin is luxuriously soft and can show fine scratches from abrasion; these often become less visible with gentle buffing and natural patina. As with all leathers, be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim or richly dyed fabrics. Avoid overfilling to preserve the hobo’s shape.
Q: Is this model still produced? A: CC Hobo configurations like this vintage, quilted lambskin style are generally considered discontinued. Chanel releases hobo silhouettes seasonally, but exact vintage layouts and proportions are usually available only on the pre‑loved market.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: For this specific piece we list: serial number tag under “Accessories.” If an item (e.g., dust bag, authenticity card or box) isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial sticker format and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
