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: How many cards does this Chanel card holder fit comfortably? A: As a slim design with one central compartment and three exterior slots, it typically holds about 4–6 cards without strain. The middle compartment can take a couple of cards or a few folded notes; avoid overfilling to prevent stretching over time.
Q: Will the leather stretch if I overstuff it? A: Yes. Even durable caviar leather will soften and mould with use. To maintain shape and slot tension, use one card per outer slot and only a few extras in the centre, rather than stacking many cards in a single pocket.
Q: What are the advantages of caviar leather? A: Chanel’s caviar leather is a pebbled calfskin known for its textured grain, which is more resistant to surface scratches and daily wear than smoother leathers. It’s a practical choice for small leather goods used every day.
Q: How should I care for this vintage caviar card holder? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; if needed, use a lightly damp, lint‑free cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils, and prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat, or humidity. Store it empty in a breathable dust bag, away from pressure and sharp objects.
Q: What are the compartments on this specific piece? A: This card holder features one central compartment and three exterior card slots with a black fabric lining and an embossed CC logo on the front.
Q: Does it fit in mini bags or trouser pockets? A: Yes. Its compact size (approximately 11 × 7.5 × 0.5 cm) slips easily into most mini bags and standard pockets while keeping essentials organised.
Q: Can it hold coins? A: It isn’t designed for loose change. Coins may slip out from the open slots, so a zipped coin purse is recommended for carrying cash coins.
Q: Which year is this piece from based on the serial number? A: The serial number 15598700 falls within Chanel’s 15‑series, dating to around 2012. This aligns with the era before Chanel introduced microchipped metal plates in 2021.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This item comes with its serial number tag. If an authenticity card, dust bag, or box isn’t listed in the Accessories section, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this card holder? A: Each item undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and serials. For pre‑2021 pieces, we corroborate the internal serial sticker where present. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
