Elevate smart-casual days and city evenings with this vintage Chanel CC tote. In brown suede with gold-tone accents, its medium silhouette and dual top handles make it ideal for lunch meetings, gallery visits or dinner dates, while the top zip keeps essentials secure.
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 Tote (approx. 30 × 23 × 11 cm)? A: Daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, make-up pouch, and a small tablet or e‑reader fit comfortably. In inches, that’s roughly 11.8 × 9.1 × 4.3, so it is a compact medium tote suited to everyday carry rather than work files.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a 13‑inch laptop? A: A4 sheets (29.7 cm tall) do not fit upright. Sideways, they are a tight fit and may press on the top zip, so we don’t recommend it. A 13‑inch laptop is generally too large; smaller tablets up to around 11 inches fit best.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual top handles have an approximate 22 cm drop, allowing most people to carry it by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder with light layers.
Q: What does the serial number 4952241 indicate? A: It is a 7‑digit, 4‑series code dating the bag to approximately 1996–1997. Serial numbers help indicate production period, but on their own are not proof of authenticity; they are assessed alongside construction, stamps and hardware details.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware 24k gold‑plated? A: Most Chanel bags produced before late 2008 featured 24k gold‑plated hardware. As a 4‑series (mid‑1990s) piece, this model would typically have 24k‑plated trims; we list it as gold‑tone to account for normal ageing and production variations.
Q: What are the closure and internal features? A: It has a secure top zip closure and a fabric‑lined interior with one zipped pocket for smaller essentials.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this item that is the dust bag, authenticity card, brand booklet and serial number tag. If an item like a box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the suede? A: Suede is delicate. Avoid rain and dark‑to‑light colour transfer, do not overfill, and brush nap gently with a clean suede brush. For marks, use a suede eraser lightly; avoid oils and household cleaners. Consider a light suede protectant if appropriate for your climate and test first on an inconspicuous area.
Q: How should I store the bag? A: Store it in a cool, dry place inside a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed to maintain shape, with straps tucked inside and away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid contact with printed materials and dark fabrics to minimise colour transfer.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or information on request.
