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 tote? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 30 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as an A4 folder, a water bottle, wallet, phone, cosmetics pouch and a 13-inch laptop. A slim 15-inch laptop may also fit horizontally depending on the model; please compare your device to the measurements on this page.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual interwoven chain-and-fabric straps have an approximate drop of 30 cm, designed for shoulder carry and to sit neatly under the arm. The straps are not adjustable.
Q: Does this model have a closure? A: This vintage CC Logo Chain Tote is an open-top design for easy access. For added security or organisation, many clients use a zipped pouch or a lightweight bag organiser inside.
Q: What year was this bag produced? A: The serial number 3348549 is a 3‑series code, which dates the bag to approximately 1994–1996. Serial codes indicate a production window rather than an exact month or day.
Q: Is the hardware real gold-plated? A: The hardware on this piece is described as gold‑tone with light scratches. Many Chanel bags from the mid‑1990s era were finished with 24‑karat gold‑plated hardware; however, composition can vary by model and season. We authenticate materials and finishes as part of our checks.
Q: How should I care for the fabric and chain? A: Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette, keep light and dark colours from prolonged contact, and protect from moisture and direct heat. If it becomes wet, blot gently with a soft, non‑pilling cloth and allow to air dry. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with the chains wrapped to prevent imprints on the exterior.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a serial number tag is listed. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial codes, supported by market‑leading references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Does the absence of an authenticity card or a worn serial sticker affect authenticity? A: Not necessarily. Vintage Chanel pieces can lose cards or experience wear to the serial sticker over time; this alone does not determine authenticity. We rely on a holistic assessment across multiple indicators. This specific bag includes a serial number tag as noted in the product information.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: It is in good vintage condition with scuffing on the corners and some fading to the print on the exterior, light traces of use inside, and shiny hardware showing light scratches. Please review the photos for the best overview of wear.
