Perfect for evenings out or a polished day look, this vintage Chanel envelope wallet in black quilted leather with silver-tone hardware slips neatly into your handbag, keeping cards and notes secure with its snap closure and external zip pocket.
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 Chanel Coco Mark Flap Envelope Wallet? A: With approximate dimensions of 15 × 10 × 1 cm, it comfortably holds 6–8 cards (loose or in a slim card holder), folded banknotes, receipts and small flat essentials. The external zip pocket is useful for coins or a key. As a slim envelope style, it is not designed for bulky items.
Q: Does it fit a passport? A: A standard passport (about 12.5 × 8.8 cm) can fit sideways in the main compartment. It will be a snug fit, so avoid overfilling to maintain the wallet’s shape and the snap closure’s integrity.
Q: Will a smartphone fit inside? A: Most modern smartphones will not fit comfortably due to the wallet’s slim 1 cm depth and compact profile. Very small handsets may squeeze in, but we do not recommend it to prevent stress on the leather and snap.
Q: What does “Coco Mark Flap Envelope Wallet” mean? A: “Coco Mark” refers to Chanel’s interlocking CC logo. “Envelope” describes the slim, triangular-flap silhouette. This piece features an envelope-style flap with a snap button, one main compartment, and an external zip pocket.
Q: What does the serial number 1663872 indicate? A: This is a 1‑series seven‑digit Chanel serial number, dating the piece to approximately 1989–1991. Serial numbers help place vintage Chanel items in a production window but are just one part of a full authentication review.
Q: Is this considered vintage and how does Chanel authenticate newer pieces? A: Yes—late 1980s to early 1990s production qualifies as vintage. Since 2021, Chanel has transitioned from serial stickers and authenticity cards to a metal plate with an embedded microchip; this wallet predates that system.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes the serial number tag. Items such as an authenticity card, dust bag, or box are not included unless specifically stated in the Accessories section.
Q: What is the current condition of the wallet? A: Overall good vintage condition with slightly faded leather and wear at the edges externally. Inside, the hardware stamp is slightly faded and there are a few small marks on the lining, consistent with normal vintage use.
Q: How should I care for the quilted leather? A: Store it in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from moisture, heat, and prolonged direct sunlight, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For lambskin in particular, avoid harsh cleaners and oils; light circular buffing can help reduce the look of superficial marks. Seek professional care for deeper cleaning or colour touch-ups.
Q: Where was this wallet made and what is the hardware colour? A: It was made in France and features silver‑tone hardware.
