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 is the Chanel “Chocolate Bar” Lambskin Pouch? A: It is a compact, vintage Chanel pouch crafted in black lambskin with the brand’s distinctive Chocolate Bar quilting (rectangular, bar‑like blocks), a stitched CC logo detail, silver‑tone hardware, a black fabric lining and a top zip closure. It’s perfect as a sleek evening clutch or an organiser inside a larger bag.
Q: Is this style discontinued and considered vintage? A: Yes. Chanel’s Chocolate Bar line is discontinued and appears only on the pre‑owned market. Pieces from this line are now sought after by vintage collectors.
Q: When was this particular piece produced? A: The serial number 7302339 corresponds to a Chanel 7‑series item, which generally dates to around 2002–2003. This piece is noted as made in France.
Q: Does it come with a strap or wristlet? A: No. This is a pouch with a top zip and no strap or chain. It can be carried by hand as a clutch or used inside a tote to keep essentials organised.
Q: What are the dimensions and what will it hold? A: Approx. 17 × 8 × 8 cm. It comfortably fits small essentials such as keys, a slim cardholder, lipstick, earphones and travel‑size cosmetics. Many larger modern smartphones may be a tight fit or may not fit; please compare your device to the interior capacity and opening and allow room for the zip and gussets.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑owned item? A: Overall condition is Very Good, with the interior also Very Good and showing a light trace of use. Please review the detailed photos and description for the most accurate view of wear.
Q: How should I care for Chanel lambskin leather? A: Handle with clean, dry hands and avoid rain, oils, perfume and colour transfer from dark textiles. Gently buff the surface with a soft microfibre cloth to reduce the look of light marks. Do not use harsh cleaners or polishes. If needed, consult a trusted leather‑care professional experienced with luxury lambskin.
Q: How do I maintain the pouch’s shape and quilting? A: Do not overfill. When storing, lightly stuff with acid‑free tissue to support the structure, close the zip without stressing it, and keep the pouch in a dust bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent flattening the quilting.
Q: What inclusions come with this item? A: This listing includes the original serial number tag/sticker as noted. An authenticity card, box or dust bag is not included unless specifically shown or stated in the Accessories section and photos.
Q: How is authenticity verified without the original card? A: A Retro Tale conducts rigorous multi‑point authentication on every piece, examining materials, quilting, stitching, stamps, fonts, hardware, and the serial sticker. We stand behind our items with a 100% authenticity guarantee.
